Can I use B1 visa to travel to any US state without a business purpose?
I recently got my B1 visa in Honduras for training purposes to Miami. My visa is only for 3 months and will expire in Dec 4th, 2014. It also has the name and address of the company in my passport.
I spoke to my boss and he said it was not necessary that I go to the training and that I could use my visa for vacations. My concern is the name and address in my passport. I have family in Las Vegas and would really love to spend Thanksgiving with them.
Can I travel to another state that is not Miami, FL?
Best Answer
If you are legally in the United States, there are no restrictions (based on visa rules) to you traveling from state to state. (TBH, if you are illegally in the US, there are no restrictions either.) There are no border crossings between states, and in fact, if not for the mile markers and Welcome To X signs, you'll likely never know you go from one to another.
