B1/B2 Visa Water Damage

[agraydon1990]

Hey guys,

I booked flights to go to the US next week and have just realised some slight water damage on my B1/B2 visa.

I don't have time to get a new visa before I leave.

All of the details, numbers, and letters on the visa are still legible and the damage is superficial at most.

Has anybody flown with a similar visa or had a similar issue?

Attached is a picture of the visa.

This is an urgent situation for me so I would greatly appreciate any information that could be shared!

If you think that the visa will still be readable by their machine, then you should be good.

CBP Office can manually check if the visa is still the real one & not a **** one.

Thanks for the response Libra_14!

Do you know what exactly makes the visa readable?

As I mentioned none of the lettering or numbering seems to have been impacted by the issue.

Thanks again!

So at POE, they have OCR machine, which reads your details from your passport/visa & verify that its you.
