Understanding the B1 Visa
Your key to conducting business in America
What is a B1 Visa?
The B1 Visa, commonly referred to as a Business Visitor Visa, is designed for individuals planning a temporary visit to the United States for business-related activities. This visa allows foreign nationals to engage in specific business functions that do not involve employment or income from US sources.
Permitted Activities
B1 visa holders can attend business meetings, conferences, and trade shows. They can negotiate contracts, consult with business associates, conduct market research, and participate in short-term training. Investment exploration and estate management are also permitted.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common B1 visa questions
What specific activities are permitted under a B1 Business Visa?
The B1 visa allows for a broad range of 'business' activities, but strictly excludes 'labor' or 'employment'. You may negotiate contracts, consult with business associates, attend professional conferences, settle an estate, or participate in short-term training. You may also pursue independent research or appear as a witness in a court trial. However, you cannot run a business day-to-day or receive a salary from a U.S. source.
How long can I actually stay in the U.S. on a B1 Visa?
While a B1/B2 visa is often valid for 10 years, your 'period of authorized stay' is determined by the CBP officer at the port of entry, recorded on your I-94. This is typically granted for 6 months (180 days). You must leave before this date expires. Overstaying even by a day can void your visa. Extensions are possible via Form I-539 but must be filed well in advance.
Is there any scenario where I can 'work' on a B1 Visa?
No. 'Work'—defined as performing services for a U.S. employer for compensation—is strictly prohibited. However, there is a nuance: the 'B1 in lieu of H1B' is a rare exception for certain foreign employees performing H1B-level work for a short duration while being paid abroad, but this requires very specific documentation. For standard B1 holders, receiving any U.S. remuneration (other than expense reimbursement) is a violation.
What is the practical difference between a B1 and B2 Visa?
The B1 is for business; the B2 is for tourism, pleasure, or medical treatment. In practice, the U.S. Department of State routinely issues a combined 'B1/B2' visa, which offers the flexibility to travel for either purpose. However, at the border, you must declare your *primary* purpose for that specific trip to the officer, as your entry status (B1 or B2) will be recorded accordingly.
How does your expedited service for B1 visas work?
Standard wait times for B1 visa interviews can be months long. Our service bypasses this by using automated systems to monitor the U.S. consular database 24/7 for cancellations. When a slot opens up (often due to another applicant rescheduling), we instantly lock it in for you. This allows us to guarantee an appointment within 12 days, significantly accelerating your business travel plans.
