B1/B2 Travel Visa

A B visa is one of a category of visas issued by the U.S. government to foreign nationals seeking entry for a temporary period. The two types of B visa are the “B-1 visa,” issued to those seeking entry for business purposes, and the “B-2 visa,” issued to those seeking entry for tourism or other non-business purposes. In practice, the two visa categories are often combined together and issued as a “B1/B2 visa” valid for a temporary visit for either business or pleasure, or a combination of the two. The validity periods for visitor visas vary by country.
