b1/b2

[marijay 0]

Hi, I had a friend who has a B1/B2 visa(multiple visa), it was company sponsored visa , but nothing is written in the Visa that it is a company sponsored one. She was sent to US to attend business meetings. She is asking what if she resigns in the company, does US embassy automatically cancels her visa. Or she can still use the visa since this is B1/B2, can she still use the b2? How will sh eknow if the visa is cancelled, is the embassy will notify her?

Please enlighten, guys. She tried sending emails but no one answers.

B1/2 still remains valid, the difference is when she enters the country officer at POE will stamp her i-94 dates based on the documentation she as provided at that time.

She will using the B2, she's going to visit her relatives. Therefore she can avail the 6mos max stay in US right?

Right.

Unless the CBP officer at the airport has a really bad day and gives her an I-94 that is valid for less than 6 months.

Entrance is not a guarente, nor is a duration of stay for 6 months - even though there is a valid visa. It is all up to the CBP. If she wants to stay as long as possible, she should bring ties to her home country to show why she MUST return, espcially if visiting family

Good luck

Don't think B1/B2 will help her with that - how come she has the full 6 months to stay in the US? Is she not working any more? They'll suspect her of wanting to stay beyond her approved time on I-94.
