Travelling on B1 while applied for L1?

Question

Hi Everyone,

I have a valid B1 visa to travel to US, and am proceeding with filing of L1 visa. Can someone please suggest if I can travel to the US on the B1 while L1 is being processed ?

Answer 1

Yes, you can continue to make business trips as needed on your B1.  In fact, you can keep your B1 until it expires; you can't have more than one US visa of the same type, but many people hold a number of different types of visas for different purposes.  No problem.
