The B1/B2 visa covers a variety of reasons for travel to the United States that includes both business and tourism/non-business purposes.

Reasons for travel under a B1 visa include:

• Conducting business, such as negotiating a contract or attending business meetings
• Attending a conference relevant to a profession, education, or current business endeavor
• Settling an estate

Reasons for travel under a B2 visa include:

• Engaging in tourist activities or take a vacation
• Visiting family
• Receiving medical treatment
• Attending or taking part in events, such as concerts or classes, as long as there is no payment or credit given to the attendee
• Taking a short recreational study course, such as a cooking class

You cannot travel under this visa to engage any of the following:

• Study
• Long-term employment by a U.S. firm
• Paid performances, or any professional performance before a paying audience
• Arrival as a crewmember on a ship or aircraft
• Work as foreign press, in radio, film, print journalism, or other information media
• Permanent residence in the United States

A B1 visa and B2 visa do not grant permanent resident status — they are temporary visas – but the holder can apply for a green card. The maximum amount of time issued for B visas is 180 days.

These visas allow for multiple entries into the United States.
