OVERVIEW
What the US Visitor Visa (Bl/B2) actually covers

Business Visitor Visa
For attending meetings, conferences, contract negotiations, or short-term professional visits where you’re not taking up local employment.
B2
Tourist & Visitor Visa
For tourism, holidays, medical treatment, or visiting family and friends in the United States.
