In 2015, I used to worked in other country where I applied and got my US nonimmigrant visa. It is valid until 2025 (multiple entry - r b1/b2) and because of personal matter I wasn't able to go to the US that time. It is stamped in my old expired passport and I read that I can still use the visa provided that I have to present my old and new passports. I am currently living in my home country and I am planning to visit/tour US particularly NY maybe this year or next year. Considering the above, can the US immigration/border officer allow me to enter the US? What will likely to happen? Will I put myself in a very dangerous situation? Please I need your opinion. Thank you.

I do not see an issue.

Hi! Even if my point of origin is my home country and not from the country where I got my visa? If ever, this will be my first time to travel to the US? Thank you.

 

You have a tourist visa, that's all that matters, you're good to go.

It doesn't matter where you was when you got the visa.

Your visa is valid until 2025, you can use it any time you want during that period to ask to enter the USA.
