A clear, temporary B-1 or B-2 reason for travel
A clear, consistent explanation of the purpose of travel consistent with B-1 (business) or B-2 (tourism/medical/visit) activities — temporary and non-immigrant in nature.
Your purpose must fit visitor rules: tourism, family visits, medical treatment, or social events (B-2); or temporary business such as meetings, conferences, or negotiations (B-1) — not skilled labor or employment for a U.S. entity.
The purpose statement, itinerary, invitation (if any), and interview answers must align. Officers look for a temporary plan with a plausible end, not open-ended or work-seeking intent.
