former US Visa officer today I want to talk to you about B1 business travel one of the most frequent questions we receive here at Argo from clients and people reaching out to us is I can either apply for a B1 or a B2 Visa or a B1 B2 Visa which one should I apply for in the majority of cases you are going to be applying for a combined B1 B2 Visa this for the Visa officer is the most common case they see and it means that you’re authorized to go to the US for either the B1 purpose or the B2 purpose now today we’re going to speak specifically about the B1 purpose the B1 purpose is for business and what does this mean you know there are certain things that are permissible under the B1 status including going to conferences giving non-paid presentations going to business meetings meeting clients doing very shortterm meetings and fact finding and market research that kind of thing in the United States would be permissible under the B1 so how do you want to present yourself if that’s your purpose of travel you’ve got to help the Visa officer make sense of this how did you get a Business Connection in the United States that you want to go see what’s your business in your home country and how does this relate to what you’re doing is this going to further your business supposedly it probably will right that’s it’s kind of obvious you wouldn’t take a trip like this if you didn’t have a serious business reason but you’ve got to make it explicit in your visa interview help the Visa officer understand that you are a competent prepared business person who has a real and compelling reason to visit the United States for business purposes now one big thing that people deal with nowadays is remote work if you’re going to be going to the US for several months and still running your business remotely from the United states there you might have some problems with the visa interview so make sure that you’re focusing on the shortterm need to go to the US to do business meetings to do things that are only possible to do in person rather than focusing on anything to do with remote work all right contact us here at Argo Visa if you want to get prepared for your B1 visa interview you’re going in for the combined B1 B2 but your purpose of travel is really for business reasons we can help you present your case help you make it make sense to the Visa officer and to reflect with your responses and in your visa interview that you are truly qualified that you are just going for short-term travel for legitimate business purposes and then you’ll be coming back to your home country place of residence to continue running your business
