B1/B2 Visitor Visa

The B visa category is divided into two sections: B-1, a visitor for Business; and B-2, a Visitor for Pleasure (Tourist). For both subcategories, the individual should be coming to the United States for a specific legal purpose, have funds to support him/herself while here, and be intending to return to his/her home country once the purpose of the visit is completed. B-1 and B-2 visitors are not (except in very limited circumstances) allowed to work or accept payment for work in the United States.
