For short business visits, business conventions or retreats, the US government awards a special type of visitor visas for business and pleasure also known as the B1 visas, the most widely used business visas. If you plan to meet some new clients in the US or attend a global forum or conference in the US this is the easiest and best option for you.

· What is the visa for?
The B visa is a specific type of U.S.A travel visas that is awarded to foreign nationals travelling to the US with a business related goal. The goal can range somewhere from attending professional business conference, to a business meeting, contract or estate negotiation, client meetings, to many more.

· Who can qualify?
Unlike for the regular tourist visas (B2 visas), the holders of the B1 visas need to prove the legitimacy and authenticity of their business goal with additional documents. Unlike other type of business related visas, B1 visas do not permit working the holder to work or receive any kind or remuneration for work on the US. Citizens of nations that have been approved in the Visa Waiver program may be able to visit the United States without a visa, but further information about their planned business goal needs to be confirmed with their local US Embassy.

· Application procedure
You need to file the necessary documents with the US embassy or consulate near to your permanent residence. As each visa application is considered an intended immigrant, you need to make sure to have full documentation certifying the legitimacy of your business goal in the US, your ability to financially sustain you stay in the US, and also provide well documented reasons to return to your country of origin once the visit has terminated.
