I will be moving to Vancouver on PR next month after having been in the US since 2013 on F-1 and subsequently on H-1B. I want to know how long should I wait before I can apply for visitor visa to US. Is there a cool off period between H-1B and B2?
I applied just after 3 months. It doesn’t matter to be honest. But not sure if they strike off the H1B stamp that you have on the passport once you get B1/B2.
If planned ahead of time, you could have also applied for Adjustment of status from H1B to B1/B2 while living in the US . Hence, there is no cool off period of any sorts.
