Which type of US visa for a conference?

Question

Hi, I'm asking a US visa for presenting a paper in a conference organized in US in March 08, Which type of visa should I ask for?

thanks

Answer 1

B1 Visa, Generally they issue B1/B2 Visa for this purpose.

B1 for business like conference, meetings etc and B2 for pleasure.

Go to vfs-usa.co.in and fill DS156, DS157 form for applying B1/B2 Visa.

Answer 2

B1/B2 - you'll be using the B1 part. That's for business-related activities, even if you won't be earning money.  There are other specialized visas, such as for religious or media people, but without further info, I'd say the B1 is best for you.

Enjoy that conference!

Answer 3

B1/B2 visa
