Types of USA Tourist Visa
The government of the United States of America offers two types of Tourist Visas from India – the B1 Visa and the B2 Visa.
B1 Visa – For business purposes, attending educational conferences, buying/selling property, or negotiating a contract or deal.
B2 Visa – For tourism, medical purposes, attending social events, sports/musical/cultural events, or registering for a short-term course or program.
The USA Tourist Visa allows its holder to go to the USA for short-term visits for a maximum duration of 6 months. Depending on the purpose of the visit, potential candidates may choose their visa type.
Starting March 2023, you can even apply for jobs and attend interviews in the US on a B1 and B2 Visa.
USCIS has announced that B1 and B2 traveling to the USA will now be allowed to work in the country! You can now convert your B1/B2 Visa to an H1-B Visa. A great opportunity to earn 5 to 8 times your current salary!
