The answer is that you can have more than one valid visa. Use the correct visa to apply for admission. If you come to visit and leave, use the B-1/B-2 because this is consistent with a tourist visa. If you are coming to stay as the H-4 dependant on an H-1, then use that one. Nothing wrong with having two valid visas, you just need to make sure that you ask to be admitted using the correct visa when you arrive. CBP officers may be a little confused because most folks only carry one valid visa, but having two is not that uncommon. Lots of crewman carry a C-1/D which permits them to land temporarily in the US and to travel to and from a ship and have a B-1/B-2 to remain in the US for extended visits. Just need to make sure that you use the correct visa to enter and the correct visa will necessarily depend on your purpose in coming to the US. Good luck.

Hello: It depends why he was deported, but generally the following must be done: *Permission to Reenter, Consulate Processing and Waiver of the 3/10 year bar * There are three packages that must be completed. The Consulate Processing, the Permission to Reenter and the Waiver of Inadmissibility. A Consulate Processing package needs to be done for the Family Petition. This is a petition that will allow your loved one to come to the U.S. Our firm can prepare the Consulate Processing package which goes through U.S. Immigration, the National Visa Center and then the Consulate, so it goes smoothly and correctly. A Waiver of Inadmissibility will have to be obtained. This is a package that will include a legal brief, forms, documents, exhibits and declarations. My firm can prepare the entire waiver, and attach all of the necessary documents. It will take several months for the decision, and if done correctly, there is a good chance of an approval. The Waiver essentially makes the ground of ineligibility (i.e., the 3/10 year bar) disappear so that the you will be allowed entry into the U.S. You will also need to have a Permission to Reenter done so that the deportation bar will be lifted. This is a complete package that goes to the District Director to allow entry into the U.S. many years prior to when the deportation order would allow.
