    What is a B-1/B-2 Visa?

    The B-1/B-2 Visa is a non-immigrant visa category issued by the United States government. It is designed for individuals who wish to visit the U.S. for various purposes, including tourism, business, medical treatment, and certain types of temporary work.

    The B-1 Visa is intended for business-related activities such as meetings, conferences, and negotiations. On the other hand, the B-2 Visa is for tourism, vacations, visits with relatives or friends, and medical treatment. Both visas allow for short-term stays in the U.S.

    It's important to note that B-1/B-2 Visa holders are not permitted to engage in long-term study, employment, or permanent residency in the U.S.
