Thanks for this item of learning. Though I and my wife are with a B2 Visa in USA and the visa is for 10 years (2011 to 2021 ), I was telling every where in USA that we are with a tourist visa. The name is visitors visa I learnt from this mail.
My 2nd learning is to break my misconception of some people asking some silly questions. I twas my wrong idea. The person asking a qn may seem silly to one who knows it pretty well. But to a lay man it matters. Thus I will not get irritated by reading a simple qn ( as I feel ) and asking " you need a visa to go to Heaven or Hell or to Moon and Mars.. Thanks to the CiteHR for such great help.
