B1/B2 VISA

ABOUT THE B VISA

​

What does a B visa do?

B visas allow you to visit the United States temporarily for the purposes of business or tourism. There are many activities that are allowed while in the US on a B visa, but there are also many that are not allowed. Most B visas are valid for a period of 10 years and allow you to enter the US multiple times for different purposes within that 10 year period.

If you are thinking of applying for an E2 or L1 visa:

A B visa can be a great way to come to the US in advance of your visa application to set up your investment and take preliminary steps towards starting your new company.

​

How do I qualify for a B visa?

• You must intend to depart the US when your authorized period of stay expires

• You must maintain a foreign residence, which you have no intention of abandoning
