anuphariharan Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I have a valid stamped H1B Visa for US. However, it is not utilised. I wanted to visit my cousin place and few tourist places in US for 2-3 Weeks. Can I use the unused H1b visa to visit or do I have to apply for a new travel visa Thanks in Advance :) Link to comment

H1 is work visa, more over you need employment letter if you enter on H1. Link to comment
omshiv Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 As Jairichi mentioned, you'll need B2 Visa for visiting US as tourist..if you travel on H1B, the Officers at the Port of Entry will send you back and also cancel your H1B. Link to comment
