Is business visa specific for the company?
|
I have a business visa (B1/B2) for United States. I got this visa when I was working in my previous company. Can I use this Visa for my US travel even though I have changed my company?
I know that H1B visa is specific to the company and it becomes void if the person switches the company but does the same hold true for B1/B2?

If the visa is for business and business purpose is similar, then it is not a problem. Otherwise you could have problem at the Border/Airport. CPB officer has duty and discretion to ask purpose of your visit. If it is established that because of change of employer, you are not going to serve same/similar purpose, entry could be denied.
If the purpose is pleasure trip and you used employment as a means to show financial security and ties to home country, it is not a problem. |

The reason why the visa is B1/B2 is because it is interchangable. Your business visa can also be used for tourist purposes/pleasure. For as long as it is valid, then you may enter the US.** |

yes it is ;specific to the company ; it is given to you for business uses only .
if you no longer work for the same company ? your visa will not be valid
you would go to the US under false pretends
Maintaining Lawful Status
As long as the alien continues to provide H-1B services for a U.S. employer he is considered to be “in status”. With regard to the "in status" requirement, the INS has recently clarified that H-1B status ends the moment an employee is "terminated" from his or her employment, and that no "grace period" exists in such situations. See Letter from Director of the INS's Business and Trade Services Branch, dated March 27, 2001. In contrast, a "laid off" or "benched" worker, who is simply in inactive status for the employer (e.g., due work slowdowns) remains in status. Similarly, when the alien is not performing work for the employer as a result of his own needs, such as sick leave or vacation, the alien is not considered to be out of status simply due to the inactivity # so long as the employment relationship continues.# Once an employee is "fired" or terminated and no employment relationship continues, the alien is no longer in H-1B status and cannot take advantage of the portability provision. |
