How long is the U.S. business visa valid?

B-2 U.S. tourist visa can be divided into 3 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, 10 years and permanent validity. The number of entries is also divided into one time and multiple times. Valid for entry.

However, it should be noted that the validity period of the visa and the length of stay in the United States are different concepts.

A U.S. non-immigrant visa allows the holder to enter a U.S. port of entry (airport/port). When the visa holder arrives at the port of destination, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers will handle entry and determine the length of stay in the United States.

Nonimmigrant visa holders may enter a U.S. port of entry at any time during the validity period of the visa, including the expiration date. The validity of a visa does not determine the length of legal stay in the United States; only U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers can make this decision upon the visa holder's arrival in the United States. The U.S. business visa (B-1 visa) is the most frequently issued visa in the United States each year. Since the U.S. business visa (B-1 visa) does not require prior application to the Immigration Bureau and the required materials are relatively simple, people who want to enter the United States for short-term business activities or business inspections generally choose this visa first. In addition, after entering the United States with a U.S. business visa (B-1 visa), if the holder meets the specified conditions, the holder can apply to convert to other non-immigrant status or adjust to immigrant status.
