re enter USA with B1/B2 visa
I had visited USA 5 years ago, my B1/B2 visa expires in 2020, I got the visa while I was working for my former company which I quit 3 years ago. Since my visa is still valid, so I guess I have no visa issues. And now I would like to re-enter a week later for my vacation. I have couple of questions, please someone clarify
I have been wandering, I have travel itinerary, valid passport, b1/b2 visa, I booked a hotel for 4 weeks but I don't no anybody (personal contacts) in USA.
Do I need to have somebody contact information to enter USA?
Does the immigration officer at airport request USA citizen contacts?
Best Answer
If you're staying in a hotel all that they care about is the details of where you're staying.
There are quite a few people that come to this country that may have no US citizen contacts so the citizenship status of the person doesn't matter. The things that do matter are:
- Where are you going?
- Where are you staying?
- Do you have sufficient funds for the journey?
- Do you have medical insurance to cover you in case of emergency? (if I am not mistaken)
And the most important:
- When and whether are you leaving?
Your contacts unless they are on some watch lists may not matter as much.
