VISITING the United States is not an opportunity that everyone in the world gets. When someone is issued a US B1/B2 visa — otherwise known as a tourist or visitor’s visa — they are implicitly agreeing to use the visa responsibly.

This means they will not work on the visa — either in person or remotely — they will not stay past their “admit until date”, they will not intentionally travel to the United States with the intent to birth a child, and they will not commit a crime while in the United States, to name a few examples.

Although working is not allowed on a B1/B2 visa, an employee can attend work conferences, meetings, trade shows, etc, as long as they are not paid anything in addition to their normal salary.
