The B-1 visa is a nonimmigrant visa issued to individuals coming to the United States for business purposes. The B-1 visa is intended for individuals for whom the Visa Waiver Program is not available.
This includes activities such as:
- Business meetings: Attending conferences, trade shows, or other business-related events.
- Consultation: Providing professional advice or services to a U.S. company.
- Negotiation: Engaging in business negotiations or contract discussions.
Key points about the B-1 visa:
- Temporary: The B-1 visa is intended for short-term stays and does not permit the holder to work for a U.S. employer on a full-time basis.
- Eligibility: To be eligible for a B-1 visa, you must demonstrate that your visit is for business purposes, have sufficient funds to support your stay, and have a confirmed return ticket.
- Duration: Up to 6 months. The duration of your stay on a B-1 visa depends on the specific purpose of your visit and the discretion of the U.S. immigration officer.
If you are planning to visit the United States for business purposes, you will need to apply for a B-1 visa at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate in your home country.
