Travel on H1B Visa
Hi! I'm a Brit working in the USA on an H1B visa. My mum is coming to visit in September and we hope to take a trip to Canada. Do I need any additional paperwork/visa to travel? I have a UK passport with a valid H1B. Any advice would be much appreciated as trying to contact the embassy in impossible!

All you need is your passport with the H1-B visa in it to get back into the US.

Thanks for the advice! My mum has an ESTA just to get into the USA from the UK, will she need another one to get into Canada?

No she will be fine if she has a UK Passport!

I shouldn't need an ESTA as I have a visa. Is that correct?!

She probably won't get a green I-94W card on her flight in to the US, but I believe they're still doing them at the land crossing.

Re: Travel on H1B Visa
Things may have changed, but during all of the time that I traveled in and out of the US on an H1-B visa I was never asked to show anything other than the visa itself.
