If you're going for tourism you should get a tourist visa and cancel your business visa. You can reapply for a business visa in the future again when you go for work. This is officially what you should do. Unofficially, no one will give a fuck unless you make them aware that you're not there for work.

Probably not. As with any country, the purpose of your trip has to match the visa type you're intending to enter on. I think you can apply for visa on arrival online for tourism

Well you can have only one Visa at any given time and if I try to get the Tourist Visa it will cancel my business Visa.

That's not true OP. You can have multiple visas and you are on a US visa so it's much easier for you to get a visa in any country. When we come to US, we get to keep our us tourist visa, business visa and long term work visas.they don't cancel any of them

But I suggest reaching out to our immigration team Egan .they are very good at resolving queries

^Indian consulate does not allow that. I had a Tourist Visa before and they cancelled it once I received business visa for India.

That's weird.sorry about my ignorance.

A1: and not all US visa classes can be held in parallel either.

^ No problem A1. I called some Visa service provider and some say I can and some say I can't wtf

K1 is right.... just don't screw up, get caught, and have yourself blackball and your firm investigated.

Thanks Guys! I just applied for ETV visa. Just to be safe side.

Hey guys,

Currently in Saas sales for MDM and AV, but I'm getting tired of the sales side and constant budget chase.
