RameshMek Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I am planning to travel to USA by Feb 20th 2013. I have valid H1B - VISA, Petition(till - 08-JUL-2013) This is the first time I am travelling to USA. And again in April 20 2013 I am planning to come to India and take my dependents with me to USA with in next two days.(As their Visa is under process and i have to travel urgently). So in this case will there be any question at port of entry like 1) why you went to India and coming back immediately - can i tell that i went to India to bring my dependents back. 2)Also will there be any question like why are you bringing the dependents for a very short period of 3 months.- What to answer if they ask? 3) What is the necessity for you to travel for short period of time? In general I just want to know is it safe to travel first time to USA on H1B if the visa validity is only between 3-4 months. Link to comment
Attorney_25 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 You may enter the US on a valid visa. You will need to show that you will meet the purpose of your visa (valid employment, etc.). Link to comment
RameshMek Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 If asked why I am travelling late, can i tell that this is a critical project requirement and if needed my employer will apply for my extension. Link to comment
RameshMek Posted April 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Pertaning to above discussion I am travellng sooner(my visa will be valid for 70 days)..So if the immigration officer asks how long will I stay in US what can I answer? Can I answer like this. This is purely a project requirement and so if the project situation demands, then my employer will take care of my extension. otherwise I will return back after completing my work.. Link to comment
