A US Visitor Visa is a non-immigrant visa for those who wish to enter the United States temporarily for business, tourism, or visiting. Sometimes a US Visitor Visa is also called a US Tourist Visa. Depending on the purpose of your visit, you may be eligible for a B-1 or B-2 visa, or both (B-1/B-2) if your reasons fall under both categories. Visas may be either single-entry or multiple-entry, depending on an individual’s eligibility. Applicants for visitor visas must be able to prove that they are not coming to the country to immigrate, but rather to visit for one of the purposes included under the visa.

The B-1 Business Visa
When traveling for business, an individual should apply for a B-1 visa. Reasons to apply for a business visa include the following: consulting with business associates, attending a business conference or convention, negotiating contracts, purchasing property, and investigating business opportunities. If you plan to come to the United States for one of these business-related purposes, you may be eligible to apply for a B-1 visa.

 

The B-2 Tourism and Visit Visa
Those who wish to travel to the US for tourism, vacation, or to visit family should apply for a B-2 visa. This visa also includes those who are entering the country for medical treatment or participation in certain types of social or service events.
