The B-1/B-2 visitor visa is intended for individuals temporarily traveling to the United States, either for business (B-1) or for leisure or medical purposes (B-2). Typically, the B-1 visa caters to travelers engaged in business consultations, attending scientific, educational, professional, or business-related events like conventions, conferences, estate settlements, or contract negotiations. On the other hand, the B-2 visa is suitable for those pursuing recreational activities such as tourism, visiting friends or family, seeking medical treatment, or participating in fraternal, social, or service-related endeavors. Frequently, the B-1 and B-2 visas are combined into a single visa known as the B-1/B-2.
To secure a B-1/B-2 visa, you must convincingly demonstrate to a consular officer that you meet the requirements outlined in the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act.
