    Default Is a B1 Visa Tied to a Specific Employer

    I was told the same on when entering the country on my B1/B2 visa (that B1/B2 visa is not attached to a particular employer and that the visa was still valid even if I had left the employer who got me the visa in the first place). But how does this stand up to what is being written on the travel.state.gov. site?

    Staying Beyond Your Authorized Stay in the U.S. and Being Out of Status

    "For nonimmigrants in the U.S. who have an Arrival-Departure Record, Form I-94 with the CBP admitting officer endorsement of Duration of Status or D/S, but who are no longer performing the same function in the U.S. that they were originally admitted to perform (e.g. you are no longer working for the same employer or you are no longer attending the same school), a DHS or an immigration judge makes a finding of status violation, resulting in the termination of the period of authorized stay."

    Any thoughts?

    Default Re: Is a B1 Visa Tied to a Specific Employer

    Is your I-94 marked "Duration of Status" or "D/S"? That's the key issue.
