It worked..when i changed GetElementsByTagName to selectnodes it worked.
But what is the reason behind it..Why its not worked when i use GetElementsByTagName?

Code:

        doc1.Load("first.XML")
        doc2.Load("second.XML")
        Dim nodeList1 As XmlNodeList = doc1.SelectNodes("//SB/SBN")
        Dim nodeList2 As XmlNodeList = doc2.SelectNodes("//SB/SBN")

        Try
            For Each selectednode1 As XmlNode In nodeList1

                For Each selectednode2 As XmlNode In nodeList2
                    If selectednode1.InnerText = selectednode2.InnerText Then
                        Dim newNode As XmlNode = doc1.ImportNode(selectednode2.ParentNode, True)
                        doc1.SelectSingleNode("root").InsertAfter(newNode, selectednode1.ParentNode)
                    End If
                Next
            Next
        Catch ex As Exception
        End Try

It might not be exactly what you are after, but should give you some hints on how to go about doing things better.
