Cross-posting my question here since it's kind of an edge case: My wife has an expired green card with a I-797 (NOA) giving a 2-year extension of green card validity for work and travel (issued by USCIS due to I-751 processing delays). There are quite a few countries that will allow visa-exempt travel if you hold lawful permanent residence in the US or if you hold a valid US visa (Mexico, for example). However, in many cases the countries will not accept the paper I-797 as "proof of valid permanent residence," (since the physical residence permit [green card] shows an expired date) so she has to go through the standard visa application processes. My question: She also has a US visitor visa (B1/B2) in her passport from when we were dating that is not expired. Is this visitor visa still considered "valid" for use/entry into other (non-US) countries? The State Department website on visitor visas says "Unless canceled or revoked, a visa is valid until its expiration date." A few examples of countries that allow visa-free travel if you have a valid US visitor visa are shown here. If it's relevant, she got a K-1 visa, moved to the US, filed for AOS, got a conditional GC, then filed for Removal of Conditions. I don't think that the Visitor Visa is formally canceled or revoked as part of any of these processes. I know she can't travel into the US on the visitor visa (she'd use her green card + I-797), but I think the US visitor visa is still valid from the perspective of other countries? Hoping someone else has had some experience with this...

Thanks for the links but it's not quite what I'm looking for. Can my wife use her old US visitor visa to travel? Is it still considered valid by other countries and/or by the US?
