What is a B-1 Temporary Visitor Visa and how it is beneficial for Business professionals?

It is a non-immigrant visa issued by the US government to the non-citizens of the US who want to visit the country for a short period. The visa is especially developed to meet the specific requirements of those business professionals who intend to visit the country due to their business related activity, for a short period of time.

B-1 Temporary Visitor Visa allows you to appear for exams conducted in the US, attend and exhibit you work at business convention, negotiate with business partners, and attend business meetings. The category does not have an annual quota.

• Your intention of stay should be limited to certain duration.
