SpoilerH1B Visa Holder: Can You Apply for Another US Visa?
It depends on the type of US visa you're applying for:
- H-1B visa renewal:Ā If your H-1B visa expires while you're in the US and you have a valid I-94 form (admission record), you generally don't need a new visa to maintain your status. You can apply for renewal through a program if your visa was issued in Canada or India [travel.state.gov].
- Different visa category:Ā Yes, you can apply for a different kind of visa while on an H-1B visa, as long as you meet the eligibility requirements for the new visa category. There's no restriction on this process. For instance, you could apply for a tourist visa (B1/B2) to visit family abroad.
