Using b1/b2 visa to travel with new girlfriend

[Mike_k 0]

Hello everyone, 

 

I'm a citizen of Ukraine and therefore I need a visa to enter the US. 3 years ago I was going on a business trip to NY and so I got my b1/b2 visa which is valid for 10 years. Since then I've got a new job and moved to a different country - I have a work permit visa in the UK.  Here I met my girlfriend who has a dual US/UK citizenship.  We are going on a trip to the US for one week and will be staying at her parents'. 

 

At first I was confident I can use my visa with no problem as it is still valid. But not I'm getting a bit worried about this trip - so many things have changed since I've applied for visa 3 years ago. Is this going to be a problem? Is there anything I really should be worried about? Do I need to bring any documents with me to prove my purpose of visit? I only have my passport and return tickets. 

 

Thanks!

You don't have to get a new visa, but you should bring proof of ties to the UK (job, apartment, property) since you might need to show that at the border. Just having a visa doesn't guarantee you'll be admitted.

 

Good luck!

You have a valid visa already. Just bring the items @Mollie09 mentioned and of course your passport with the visa in it.

 

Enjoy your trip!

When they issue a visa with 10 years’ validity they are perfectly aware that circumstances can change a lot in that time  as the others said, just make sure you have proof of ties to wherever you are living now, preferably including a letter from your employer saying you’re still employed and will return after your vacation.
