Travelling to US for business. Eligible for B1?

Post by begi » Wed Feb 17, 2010 9:56 pm

I hope someone can help me with following situation. I have checked my self local embassy website, USCIS but neither answers exactly to my question -
"Can I travel and remain for few months in US under Business visa (B1)?" - based on below circumstances.

I don't want L1-B coz it is painful process + I'm not employed by US company (as per below).

So, my circumstances:

Employed by Belgian company who has branch in USA. Employer wants to send over for 3-4 months to train staff in USA branch.

Contract remains with Belgian company, taxes are paid in Belgium, expenses are paid like travel expenses (incl housing) by Belgium.


I will really appreciate your feedback.

Thank you in advance :)

with the b1 visa you can stay temporary and can do business related activities in the us such as the business associates and short term training program...
