The B-1/B-2 visa is a non-immigrant visa for individuals traveling to the United States temporarily for business (B-1) or tourism (B-2). While both categories fall under the same visa classification, their purposes and requirements vary slightly.
J-1 visas promote cultural and educational exchange, covering scholars, interns, trainees, and au pairs. Some J-1 holders must return to their home country for two years unless they obtain a waiver.
