Travel on B2 even if I have H1b stamped

USA H1B Visa
1

My H1b is valid till sept 2015. I was working in US for 1 year on H1b till now. Now i donot have a project and my employer has suggested me to travel back to India till a project is assigned.

Now when I am in India I have to take care of some personal errand in US and want to travel to US. 

My questions: 

 

1) Can i travel on B2 without affecting my H1b

2) What can be a valid reason to travel to US on B2. 

3) Can I say at immigration that I am not on a project now?

 

Right now i am not paid while I am in India. Now when i want to travel n B2, at the POE, would he cancel my H1 because i am not paid in US?

 

Appreciate your help

You can travel on B-2. H-1B is not affected. You will possibly be allowed only 30-90 days stay as it is for specific task. You can explain why you are not using H-1B for travel. Have reason ready for B-2 travel. Both questions to be answered honestly. POE does not have authority to cancel H-1B.

All the best
