Hi All...

Not sure where to post this question.

Posting my question here as 99% of the members in this section are PR holders. I am also PR holder.

I am in process of booking a ticket to my Home country ( India ) for 2 weeks.

Route ......Vancouver to Seattle (US) ---> Seattle to Dubai --- > Dubai to India..

I have B1/B2 visa and did a multiple day visits to US by road. So my question here, is my B1/B2 visa enough to enter in to US airport and travel from there ....... or Do I need to take a Transit visa ?

Trip is in May and its very important for me ...its my close relative wedding...I don't want any surprises at Seattle Airport.

Thank You.

Yes. Your B1/B2 is enough.

I am transiting through the U.S. Will I need a visa?
The Transit without Visa (TWOV) Program has been suspended until further notice. All foreigners transiting the U.S. are required by law to have a visa or travel authorization for Visa Waiver Program Country

Transit only - travelers must present the Transit Visa (C1)
Transit and Visiting/ Business - travelers must present a Tourist/ Business visa (B1/B2)
Travelers who already have a B1/B2 Visa may transit the United States without a C1 Visa.
