B-1 Business Visa

The B-1 Business Visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows foreign nationals to enter the United States for business purposes. This can include attending meetings, negotiating contracts, participating in conferences, or settling estate matters. The visa does not permit employment in the U.S. or receiving salary from a U.S. source. Typically, B-1 visa holders can stay in the U.S. for up to six months, though the exact duration is determined by the Customs and Border Protection officer at entry. This visa is essential for businesspeople looking to engage in various professional activities in the U.S.
