Travelling on Visitor visa B1/B2 while L1 pending

[arthi123]

Hello,

I have a visitor visa stamp on my passport as B1/B2. My employer is setting up a new office in USA.

They are processing my L1. meanwhile, they are asking me to travel to USA on on B1/B2 visa to train a few people and conduct seminars.

They are saying if I have an invitation letter from the client in USA< then I an travel on the B1/B2 and do these work related activities..

I am concerned that I cannot do this on my B1/B 2 as it is a tourist visa sponsored by my sister.

Can someone help me understand if this is legal or allowed?

Thanks!

You are not permitted to work in the U.S. paid or unpaid while you are on a B1/B2 visa. You would have to wait until the L1 is approved to do anything work related in the U.S.

This is my opinion and not legal advice. Use of this information is strictly at your own risk.
