Visas: Temporary Visitors for Business or Pleasure
The Department of State (``Department'') proposes to amend its regulation governing nonimmigrant visas for temporary visitors for business, the B-1 nonimmigrant visa classification, by removing two sentences defining the term ``business'' that are outdated due to changes in the INA since 1952, from when the two sentences originate. With removal of these sentences, the Department would no longer authorize issuance of B-1 visas for certain aliens classifiable as H-1B or H-3 nonimmigrants, commonly referred to as the ``B-1 in lieu of H'' policy, unless the alien independently qualifies for a B-1 visa for a reason other than the B-1 in lieu of H policy.
