Any person who has in mind to become an investor in the United States should preferably do it in person, teleconferencing is effective and allows to short the distance, but it doesn’t compare to a face to face conversation.
A visa that allows an investor to make a business trip is the B-1 visa, ideal for temporary travel to the United States where the mission is to have one or more meetings and then return to the country of origin.
More importantly, with this visitor visa the person can’t work or earn money in the United States.
A B-1 visa type is one of the non-immigrant visas requested more frequently.
What activities are permitted with B1 visa?
Vacations
Visiting family members
Attend a meeting
Participate in job training
Receive medical treatment
Do independent research
Do missionary work
