I have multiple visas. Is it okay to have multiple visas in my passport at the same time? If I have two visas can I enter the U.S. on both visas?

By May 16, 2017April 7th, 2021Immigration

For most foreign nationals the process of applying for a nonimmigrant visa involves filling out a DS160 form, gathering supporting documents and visiting a U.S. Consulate for an interview with a consular officer. (There are some limited exceptions for Canadian nationals who are able to enter the U.S. without a visa for tourism and can also get certain nonimmigrant visas at the border such as the TN visa and L visa). Applicants that are from certain countries may also bypass a formal visa by applying for ESTA through the visa waiver program.  This application process is done online and the applicant does not have to go to a U.S. Consulate abroad.  If you have to apply for a visa at a Consulate and you meet all the eligibility requirements for the visa, the consular officer will collect your passport to put a visa stamp in it. Below are some important points to keep in mind if you have or are applying for multiple U.S. visas.

You are permitted to have two concurrently valid visas, but not two valid visas of the same type

If you apply for two types of visas and are eligible for both visas, consular officers are permitted to issue two concurrently valid visas. For example, you may have a B1/B2 visa for tourist purposes that was granted for 10 years and also be issued an E-2 visa to run a business in the United States. In this scenario your valid B1/B2 visa would not be cancelled when you received the E-2 visa and you could enter the U.S. on either visa depending on the purpose of your trip.

However, you are not permitted to possess two valid visas of the same type in your passport at the same time. For example, if you had an H-1B visa in your passport that was valid until July 1, 2017 and you then changed employers and got a new validity date of August 2, 2019 and went to a Consulate to get a new H-1B visa stamp, the officer would cancel your previous H-1B visa and put a new H-1B visa stamp in your passport that reflected the updated validity period. You would not be permitted to have two valid H-1B visa stamps in your passport at the same time.  While you will only have one visa stamp in your passport, you may be permitted to work at other employers in the same visa category provided USCIS approval was obtained.  For example, a person can be approved for one H-1B visa (eg. a part-time position) and obtain a visa stamp at the Consulate.  They can then obtain USCIS approval for a second H-1B employer in the U.S. and can also work for that employer. Similarly, a Canadian or Mexican national can have multiple TN jobs in the U.S. as long as they are approved to work at the employer.

You can only use one visa to enter the U.S. and the visa you enter on will control your status

While you are permitted to have multiple valid visas in your passport, you can only enter the U.S. with one visa. After you have been inspected at a port of entry and lawfully admitted to the United States, you will be granted a status, which gives you certain rights and controls the activities you may lawfully engage in while they are in the U.S.

You can learn more about the difference between a visa and a visa status here.

When you have multiple visas you should enter on the visa that is most appropriate for the activities you plan to undertake in the U.S. to ensure you do not violate your status. Going back to the example above, if you have a B1/B2 tourist visa and an E-2 visa and you plan to work in the U.S. during your trip, you must enter on your E-2 work visa. If you enter on your tourist visa you will be in in B-2 status and will not be authorized to work.

    Hello,

    I am currently an international student with an F-1 visa. I’m also a holder of an EAD card that I acquired through the pre-completion OPT program. My card will expire in July and I would like to know if it can be renewed. I’m getting different answers every time I call USCIS. Also I’d like to know if I can be a holder of both a H-1B and my F-1 visa.

    Hello,

    I currently have an 02 visa and am a working/touring musician. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I am currently out of work until further notice as we are not able to play live shows.

    Is it possible to keep this visa and also get a visa that would allow me to apply to work at cafe/restaurant type job without needing sponsorship from the employer? If not, do you know what it would take to make this happen?

    Thanks so much!

  • Sarah says:

    I have a O-1 visa – am I allowed to hold an H1B visa at the same time? had a period of time when I had two concurrent O-1 visas. I’ve had two concurrent O-1 visas before but am not sure if I am permitted to hold concurrent visas of different types. Thank you!

  • KELVIN says:

    I have a valid b1 b2 Visa and wasn’t able to travel in the states yet. However my fiance who is a US Citizen would want me to apply for a K Visa (fiance Visa) Is it going to have a conflict about it? Is my Visitor visa will be voided or I can use both b1b2 and k visa at the same time?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    I already have a K1 visa (approved from the USCIS) but when my employer heard that I will be moving they offered me a transfer instead of me resigning from my job. They offer me to fill an L1B visa. How does this application affect the K1 and in the same way, how does the K1 application affect the L1B?
    Thank you.

    I have dual citizenship Canada and St.Kitts. With the Canada passport, obviously I do not need to ask for B2 visa for tourism to the United States.  Can I apply for B2 visa using DS160 application form for my second passport (St.Kitts) and declare on the form that I also have Canada citizenship?  Or would this be considered a duplicate visa since I implicitly already have B2 with Canada citizenship? It might seem strange to apply for B2 under a second citizenship if I can already enter the U.S. with my Canada passport, but I will need to go to U.S. while my Canada passport is being renewed from abroad with long wait time.

    I’m currently on an H1B visa (ends in 2021), but I’m now moving to a Ph.D. program, so I will be getting my visa stamp soon in Canada (I didn’t apply for a change of status-its just new visa). While I get that stamp, can I enter the US with my H1B visa still and work till my classes start and then I move to the F1 visa

    Hi

    I am on an L1 visa in US and my wife is also on L1 visa.
    However, I plan to quit my current job after which my L1 visa will be invalid as it is tied to my employment.

    Can I apply for my L2 right now before quitting my job?
    Basically I will end up having both my L1 and L2 visa in that case.
    Is that allowed?

    I am on H1B currently and was accepted to a doctoral program and would like to get a F1. International students advisor said I should leave the US and apply for a F1, rather than going through COS. My understanding from this article is that I could apply and get F1 stamped while I have a valid H1B and the H1B will remain valid and I could choose which status I’d be on based on the purpose of visit of the time by clarifying at a port of entry ( correct me if I’m wrong, plz). Is it true that applying for a new F1 out of the US will be more secure way than COS? Thank you for your help.

    Would it be possible to file a K-1 visa and then get granted a J-1 while the K-1 process is pending?
    My fiancé and I are filing for the K-1 soon (I’m the Belgian beneficiary with a valid tourist visa), but I also have an opportunity to do an unpaid internship in Washington through my university.

    Will that cause any problems?

    Thank you in advance

    My wife and I are in the US on H-1.
    I have a valid H-1B visa stamp for 3 years.
    My wife has her own valid H-1B visa stamp for 3 years.

    I wish to take a sabbatical outside the US for 1 year.
    Could I get a H4 stamp on my passport and enter/re-enter on H4 for the 1 year sabbatical from H1?
    After 1 year, I would enter on my previously valid H-1B visa stamp.

    Summarizing, could I have 2 valid visas H-1B (employer A) and H4 (from spouse H1 with employer B) at the same time on my passport?
    (or do H-1 and H-4 come under the same type “H”?)
