B-1/B-2 Visas: B-1 visas are for foreigners seeking to enter the USA for business purposes. B-2 visas are for foreigners seeking to enter for tourism purposes. Usually, the two visa categories are combined together and issued as a “B1/B2” visa valid for a temporary visitor for either business or pleasure or a combination of the two. In order to qualify for a B1/B2 visa, the foreigner must convince the Consular Officer that he/she is coming to the USA for a short period of time with a clear purpose, will depart the USA at the end of the visit and will not engage in work.
