| The B-1 / B-2 visa is for coming to the U.S. for temporary business or pleasure trips. The B-1 visa is generally used to come to the U.S. to make investments, to purchase goods, or to conduct other temporary work on behalf of a non-U.S. employer.
Can I work in the United States with a B1 or B2 visitor visa?
You may not be employed or be paid by a source inside the U.S. The B-2 visa is for tourists who are visiting the U.S. Tourists of some countries may enter the U.S. for up to 90 days without a visa under the visa waiver program. If you want to work, you must change your visa status to another type of work visa first .
Duration of your visit
B-1 / B-2 visitors for business or pleasure may be admitted to the United States for a period of six months, up to one year and may be granted extensions of temporary stay in increments of no more than six months each.
How can I extend my stay in USA?
You can extend your stay in B-1 visitor/tourist status by a maximum of six months due to an "unexpected situation" such as medical treatment or the delay in the conclusion of business matters.
