HI,
I am right now in Canada on a work permit and i also hold a valid US B1 visa. Now my question is i am planning to visit my friends in US for a short trip. So i just wanted to know if i can use my B1 visa and travel to US considering this a personal visit and not an official business trip.
Can someone please help me here.

Cheers,
VM

I am thinking that you have a B1/B2. This type of visa can be used for both short term work like attending a work conference or meetings and also leisure. you should be fine travelling on this for your personal visit.

thanks.

Check your passport. It should read B1/B2.
