Hi guys: My niece (Indian PP) has 5 yr validity B1/B2 and has been to US once last year. She is now applying for F1 visa in New Delhi. If her F1 is denied, will they cancel her B1/B2 too? Please respond at the earliest. Thank you.
 
You must understand about visa and status.

The word visa is often misused. A visa is, in effect, an admission ticket. You get it at a US consulate and use it at the airport, seaport or land border crossing when you enter the US. You usually also need it when boarding your flight or ship. When you arrive in the US, the BCBP immigration inspector will look at your passport with the visa in it and grant you a corresponding status.

After you arrive in the USA, you do not need the visa at all, ever! In fact, there are many people whose visa expired or whose visa is of a different category, but yet they are perfectly legally in the USA.

A status is what you have after you arrive in the USA, until you leave. People outside the USA never have a status.
 
Thank you for your response and time. I wish you could answer my question than giving a tutorial on visa and status. Thank you again!
 
If your F-1 visa application is denied, the visa officer will have to decide what to do with your B-1/B-2 visa based upon your particular set of circumstances. He'll make a judgment. It's hard to predict what his decision will be. He can cancel it or let it alone.
