Is there any problem at US port of entry, if our plan of travel deviates from what we stated in DS160 for H1B.

My H1B Visa got approved in the Febraury month. While filling up the DS160 form for visa interview scheduling, I have mentioned my intended arrival at USA as 08-March-2013, but now I am unable to fullfill that becoz of the relieving problems in the present organization. The intended arrival may change to 21-April-2013, as per the current situation.

Will it create any problem at the USA Port of Entry, with the above deviation from DS-160 intended arrival date.

Please any body guide me in this regard.

With Regards

Sirish

It doesn't matter what date you put in DS-160. You can come in any time as long as you have a visa and a valid I-797. Just make sure that your employer is aware of your schedule and have their contact details handy at the port of entry. In some cases, they will call up your employer from the port of entry to validate your employement.

You should not have any issue. The travel dates are always good to have but not absolute necessarily right.

the word "intended" should be self-explanatory to you for this answer ...

No problem.

Is it applicable for B2 visa holders also? Can they enter a different port in the U.S. than what entered in DS-160
