B-1/B-2
Nonimmigrants apply to come to the U.S. on a temporary basis on either a B-1 Visa for business (e.g., attending business conferences or meetings) or on a B-2 Visa for pleasure (e.g., tourism or visiting friends or relatives). These visas require that the applicant has permanent residence in the home country which he or she has no intention of abandoning, that the person enters the U.S. for a temporary period, and that he or she engages in activity relating to business or pleasure (no employment).

A nonimmigrant is a foreign national seeking to enter the U.S. temporarily for a specific purpose. Nonimmigrants enter the U.S. for a temporary period of time, and once in the U.S. are restricted to the activity or reason for which their visa was issued. They may have more than one type of nonimmigrant visa but are admitted in only one status.
