I have a 10 year multiple entry b1/b2 visa (my second one) which i obtained before i married my US citizen husband.Iam currently a housewife. My husband is a US citizen and Filipino as well so he is legally residing with me here in Manila. He has a business here too and a US company which is outsourced in Manila. We will be visiting the US next year. Will i have a problem at the POE? I've been to the US 4x. Never overstayed. Currently have no plans of filing my petition, not next year at least. After the US,we will be travelling to Vancouver for a week and 10 days in Tokyo.

I was thinking my airline ticket from LAX to Vancouver then Vanvouver to Tokyo then Tokyo to Manila will prove to the immigration officer that i will leave the US.

I am just scared that they might deny me of entry.

It's possible; be sure to bring as much proof as you have that you will / must return to the Philippines.

As I am sure you know, entrance and duration of stay is never a guarantee, bring strong ties to PI

and get a tourist visa for Canada if necessary

good luck

You have a valid visa not sure I see the issue. Go through separately (you first) if you thing being married to a USC may cause a "wrinkle"

Yes i will get a visa to Canada and Japan.

I never had problems before at the POE and was never this anxious till now because it's our first time to travel to the US as husband and wife. Hope everything works well. Thank you so much for the replies. I'll most likely bring copies of our business papers.
