B-1/B-2 Visitor Visa

Nonimmigrant visa for temporary business (B-1) or tourism (B-2) visits.

B-1/B-2 is the most common nonimmigrant visa, granting up to 6 months of authorized stay per visit (typically). B visa holders generally cannot work or attend school full-time, and overstays may render them inadmissible.
