A B-1/B-2 visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows foreign nationals to travel to the United States temporarily for business (B-1), tourism (B-2), or a mix of both (B1/B2)
. The B1 visa is used for short business trips, while the B2 visa is used for tourism purposes
. B visas are typically valid for up to 10 years from the issue date, and travelers to the U.S. can stay up to 180 days, with the option to return to the U.S.
. B-1 and B-2 visitors may not engage in employment, and there are strict requirements on studying in the United States as a visitor
. If you want to apply for a B1 or B2 visa, you need to prove that your trip to the U.S. is only for a short time, show proof that you plan to return to your home country after your visit, and that you have a place to live outside the U.S. that you will not leave for good
