Need urgent advice - have B1/B2 visa; also have seaman's crew visa C1D

[piplanih]

Hi gurus, need your help on this one:

I have a valid B1/B2 visa for multiple US entry. I'm also a seaman and have a valid crew C1D visa. I'm
planning to enter the US for a vacation (for 4 weeks) then return to India.
What visa should I show the immigration officer at entry? Does it matter where I enter the country at? If the
officer looks at both visa's, what should be my response?

thanks for your expert advice.

You should be showing your B1/B2 visa if you plan to enter US as a visitor (for vacation). The port of entry does not matter. Tell the truth - if asked - about having two separate visas.

Hi! I'm seaman with valid C1/D visa but I'm currently staying in Florida on B2 visa. I'm supposed to join the ship by the end of July in Seattle. How should I handle my visas flying from Fort Lauderdale to Seattle. Please help.

Hi,

You don't need a visa for domestic flights.

If you were flying into the US from abroad you just have to show the visa that's appropriate to the purpose of your trip.
