What cannot be done in the US on a visitor visa?

The US Embassy in Dhaka has issued a list of activities that visitors cannot undertake in the United States on a B1/B2 visitor visa.

The embassy published a post on its verified Facebook page at 10:00 am today, Saturday, outlining activities that are not permitted under a B1/B2 visitor visa in the United States.

According to the post, activities not permitted on a B1/B2 visitor visa include:

  • Birth Tourism (travel for the primary purpose of giving birth in the United States to obtain US citizenship for the child)

  • Work that results in payment from a US employer or business

  • Studying for a degree or academic credit

  • Paid performances

A US B1/B2 visitor visa is limited to specific and temporary visits to the country.

The United States generally issues a B1 visa for travel related to business activities, while a B2 visa covers travel for tourism and medical treatment.
