I have a B1/B2 Visa valid for 10 years with Multiple entries and no annotations. My employer in India had it processed for me so I could travel to the US for business purposes. I have traveled to US on two occasions, once in 2007 for a period of 10 weeks and again in 2008 for a period of 20 days. On both these visits I was a business traveler with invitation letters from my employer (that I presented at the POE) and all accommodation/trip-cancellation-insurance/living expenses were taken care of by my employer.
Now I would like to visit the US as a tourist. I will bear all the cost of the travel and stay. I plan to stay with a friend who is a green card holder.
My question is, can I travel to US as a tourist on my current B1/B2 visa? Or do I have to reapply for a tourist visa? If it is OK to travel on my current visa, what do I need to tell/present the officers at the POE? Do I need to carry any documentation?
Any help would be appreciated.
