From the US Dept. of State website:

"Nonimmigrant visas are for international travelers, (citizens of
other countries), coming to the U.S. temporarily. This visa allows you
to travel to a U.S. port-of-entry (airport, for example) and request
permission of the Department of Homeland Security immigration
inspector to enter the U.S. A visa does not guarantee entry into the
United States."

IOW, the inspector *could* (for any of a zillion valid reasons) refuse
the holder of valid visa entry when they show up.
