So, basically, my husband is in US, I am back home. My B1/B2 is valid for quite a while. We are not applying for CR1 yet and I wann visit him for Christmas. Can anyone tell me if it is illegal? Is there any law stating that now I can't use it anymore? I called local consulate and they have no idea. Now will try to call USCIS, cause I really wanna go but no need for trouble. thanks.

As stated your tourist visa is still valid. You might encounter issues when you say you're going to visit your husband, so make sure you take strong ties to your home country with you.

Have a safe trip :D

Like everyone else said, you're fine, your visa is still valid and you can travel. Just make sure you bring enough evidence to show ties to your home country, just like you would do every time.

The B2 is still valid. You would be allowed to enter as long as you can convince them that you are only intending to enter as a visitor (non immigrant) at the time of entry. Immigration law does allow for that.

You can also be denied entry if they determine that you are attempting to enter as an immigrant. If this happens I believe the B2 would also then be terminated.

To a certain extent, it will be up to the CBP officer, but you can help by bringing as much evidence as you can to support the fact that you are only visiting.
