Legal Topics > Immigration > Visas, Citizenship, Deportation, etc. > Temporary Visas

What is a B-1 Business Visa?
A B-1 visa is used for a variety of business related activities including: 

  • Consulting with business associates
  • Attending a scientific, educational, professional or business convention, conference or seminar
  • Giving a lecture
  • Doing independent research at a scientific or educational institution
  • Participating in a voluntary service program
  • Participating in a sporting event

People with B-1 visas may not, in general, get salaries or money from U.S. sources. 

Applying for a B-1 Visa
Because United States immigration law assumes people who enter the country will stay as immigrants you need to show the following: 

  • The purpose of the trip is business related
  • The trip is limited to a specific period of time
  • Because of social and economic ties outside the United States, you will return abroad at the end of your business trip

Application Materials Required 

  • Valid passport or travel document
  • A photograph meeting a specific size, type and quality
  • Application fees
  • Supplemental forms
  • Evidence of funds to cover expenses
  • Evidence of social and economic ties abroad

Do I Need a Lawyer?
There are so many different types of visas available and a B-1 visa may not be the best available option.  Consulting an experienced immigration attorney can help you determine which visa is best for you.  An immigration lawyer can also assist you with your B-1 visa application.
