What is a United States B1/B2 Visa?

The B1/B2 visa is a temporary non-immigrant visa that enables individuals to visit the United States for specific purposes. 

The B1 visa (Business visa) is for Business Travel, such as attending meetings, conferences, negotiations, or professional/educational seminars. It is not permissible for B1 visa holders to engage in any paid employment or work for a US employer during their stay.

The B2 visa (Tourist/Visit visa) is designed for individuals visiting the United States for tourism, pleasure, or medical treatment. Activities such as visiting friends or relatives, taking vacations, participating in social events, seeking medical treatment, or engaging in recreational activities fall under this category. Like the B1 visa, B2 visa holders are prohibited from working during their stay.

The US immigration code, also known as the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), governs the entry and stay of foreign nationals in the United States. It is contained in Title 8 of the United States Code and can be broadly divided into two main parts. The first part, Selection System, establishes the different visa categories available to foreign nationals wishing to immigrate to the United States. The second part, Immigration, governs the entry and stay of nonimmigrant aliens, such as tourists, business travelers, and students.

How we’re different

We’ll plant a tree for every product sold. Our vision is to support communities and the environment by offering services to the public. For every product sold, we’ll plant a tree. We do this with local help to support local economies and communities. This is in opposition to mass tourism, which sucks the soul out of destinations. This also opposes greedy international corporations, whose only concern is shareholder profit.

We do this with the help of One Tree Planted. A portion of every purchase goes to a reforestation or urban forestry project.

We hope that, by succeeding, we can have a future that we hope for, not dread.
