Traveling to other countries while in the U.S. on a B1 or B2 visa
Can I go to other countries while I'm in the U.S. on a B1 or B2 Visa?
B-1 or B-2 visas: During your visit to the U.S., you may visit Canada or
Mexico for up to 30 days and re-enter the U.S. as long as you re-enter
within the period noted on the Form I - 94 which you received when you first
entered.
For instance, if you come to the U.S. on July 10 on a B2 Visitor Visa, you
may go to Canada and/or Mexico on or after December 10, and reenter the U.S.
any time up until January 10. But because the six month period is up on
January 10, you will also have to depart from the U.S. on that same day to
avoid being an "overstay" (unless you applied for an extension of stay).
Note: The six month period is computer generated from the day you arrived
into the U.S. It is recommended that when making travel plans you not wait
until the last day of your six month stay as unexpected emergencies can
arise.
If you visit other countries such as England or Costa Rica, then return to
the U.S., your re-entry will be considered to be a new admission, rather
than a re-entry from a contiguous country in the course of your initial
visit, and the admission inspection may be more strenuous. The CBP Officer
inspecting you will want evidence that you intend to go back home to your
country of citizenship to live as opposed to returning again and again to
the U.S. after visits to other countries. Remember, a B1 or B2 visa allows
you to come to the U.S. to visit. If the CBP Officer suspects that you are
actually trying to be a de facto resident, you will be denied entry.
Re-entry is, of course, dependent on your continued eligibility to enter. If
you have been arrested or committed an illegal act resulting in a warrant
in your name since the time the visa was issued, you could be denied re-
entry. |
