Enter on B1/B2 while holding K1

[kmiami15 8]

I have read comments about it, but maybe people that have been in this situation can provide some input.... My fiance is a B1/B2 visa holder and when he receives his K1 we are wondering if he can still come to the US on his B1/B2 until he decides to enter on the K1 or if at the time he receives the K1, the next entrance would have to be under the K1?? Any input?? I would appreciate it... thanks!!

If/when a K1 visa is issued, the B1/B2 is voided by the CO.

This has been successfully done by Canadians, however I have not heard of a Mexican national having success. Canadians do not travel on a visa so I assume the above poster is correct, the B visa will become void when the K visa Is issued

good luck

B1/B2 will be voided when the K1 is stamped/approved. Don't try too pull a fast one by getting a new passport, the B1/B2 is administratively voided (without prejudice actually) and if try to enter at the POE with such a visa, they will know immediately is voided. You would have a heck of a time explaining away why are you trying to enter on an expired/cancelled visa when you have a K1. The airport people don't have in most cases a means of validating if a visa is valid and will likely fly you in though.

My B1/B2 visa was canceled by the CO when I got my K1 visa approval (Cancelled Without Prejudice). Hope this helps.
