Possibility of Valid existing H1B VISA cancellation due to new B1 VISA

[vijaysadhineni]

Hi,

 

  I am having recent i.e. OCT 2013 stamped existing valid H1B VISA from my current company but not yet travel to USA.

  Meantime i am applying for B1 VISA from my same current company for short business trip.

 

  Is there a possibility of cancelling my existing valid H1B VISA by Consulate Officer due to B1 visa though i applied from the same company?

  Also will there be any impact on not utilizing my existing H1B VISA yet, but applying for B1 visa for knowledge transfer short trip?

 

Thanks & Regards

Krishna

No. They may ask you about your intentions.

It might be cancelled (remote possibility if both are strong apps) but as long as it is "without prejudice", you could reapply.
