Transitting US on B1/B2 while H1B is in process

[Gatsby]

Dear All,

 

I’ve a question. My H1b petition is in Initial review. I’ve B1/B2 visa. I worked in Mexico for 2 years and came back to India via Europe instead of USA. I thought transiting US on B1/B2 would affect my H1B process.

 

Now, i have to return to Mexico again from India. I need to get a new visa for Mexico. But according to mexico embassy, if I have US visa I don’t need to get Visa from mexico embassy in Delhi. I can get an ‘on arrival’ visa in mexico if i’m coming via US. Now i’m confused. Can I transit US with B1/B2? will it affect my H1B processing? My case is still in Initial review.

 

Even if it doesn’t affect, what if my H1B gets approved when i’m in Mexico? and I can’t return via US with B1/B2 after completion of my job in mexico? Mexico allows only ppl with US visa who are coming from US or going to US.

 

Please let me know what i can do.

 

Thanks in Advance.

Once your H1B gets approved, you may go back to US. What are you doing in Mexico?

@omshiv,

Your H1 petition has no connection to you transiting the USA by flight.
