US Tourist Visa on Indian Passport

Post by newjoiner123 » Sat Mar 15, 2025 11:29 am

Hi,

I am planning to travel to U.S around end of October and if everything goes as per the plan I should have my UK passport by early September. I have couple of questions.

1) What will happen to my U.S visa which is stamped in my Indian Passport.
2) When I travel to U.S using UK passport in October, should I use the U.S tourist visa stamped in my old passport. The U.S tourist visa has a validity till 2033.
3) If i can't use the U.S tourist visa then do i need to spend additional money to get on arrival visa in October.

Thanks

Hi,

I am planning to travel to U.S around end of October and if everything goes as per the plan I should have my UK passport by early September. I have couple of questions.

1) What will happen to my U.S visa which is stamped in my Indian Passport. It remains valid.
2) When I travel to U.S using UK passport in October, should I use the U.S tourist visa stamped in my old passport. The U.S tourist visa has a validity till 2033. You can't mix 2 nationalities. Your nationality clearly depicted on you USA visa is Indian, you can't marry that with a British passport. You either enter with a British passport or Indian passport. Based on Indian laws, it gets trickier.
3) If i can't use the U.S tourist visa then do i need to spend additional money to get on arrival visa in October. Nothing like on arrival visa. You need a valid pre-authorized ESTA or visa before you can even board the plane.

Thanks
No sin in failing, you just have to try and try again!
