Applied for B2 (Tourist Visa), can it be used for business travel to meet clients

[chinnappa]

Hi,

I had applied for B2(Tourist) visa. I got it stamped as B1/B2 visa.

I have plans to go to the US to attend client meetings and stay there for 3 months. Will I have any issues as I told I would be visiting the US for tourist purpose only during the interview.

Thanks

No, you wont have any issues.

Consulting with business associates is covered in B1/B2. See below.

Get the invitation from your client and take a printout of your schedule.

Get it stamped as B1 at POE and don't ask them for 3months stay, they may suspect that you will work while in the USA.

Any ways, they will give 6 months stay for the first time visitors.

all the best.

This is my opinion not a legal advice.
