B-1 visas are for aliens who are entering the U.S. to engage in short-term business activities, not to seek permanent employment. A B-1 visa holder can negotiate contacts, participate in conferences or seminars and consult with business associates.

B-2 visas are for aliens who are entering the U.S. for pleasure or tourism. Foreign students entering the United States to look at schools they are interested in attending may also qualify for a B-2 visa, so long as the Embassy or Consulate issuing the visa is informed of the prospective student's plans at the time the B-2 visa is granted. B-2 visa may also be issued to aliens who are coming to the U.S. for medical treatment.

B visa holders may change their status in the United States.
