Hi Everyone! Got a quick question:

My wife's sister is coming to US for business in a month. She will be in Florida for a few days on business and then wants to travel to LA to see my wife.

I am assuming she is getting some sort of a Business Visa in Russia. If that's the case, is she able to move freely within United States? I am still getting more information, but my wife is saying something about not being allowed to travel between cities within the continental United States. Can someone shed some light on this for me please?

Thank you!

I know in Russia you had internal passports that limited your travel.

US limits your duration and activities, B1 for Business, B2 for Tourism, usually issued as a combo.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

So you are saying if she gets both B1/B2, she is able to travel within United States?

Yes, there are no visas that limit where you can go in the US.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Prevet, I have never seen a business or tourist visa that limits a person to a particular city. Might be, I've just never seen one. There "should (I'm not an attorney) be an issue of flying from Florida to LA, especially if she returns to Florida for her return trip. The important issue of course is to no overstay the visa. Ochin preatna and very best to you!

Do they always give joint B1/B2 Visas or is sometimes just B1?

Combo seems to be normal.Just thought there is a Border Crossing Card issued to Mexicans that is supposedly limited.
