B-1 entrants may engage in commercial transactions (i.e. consulting with clients; contract negotiations, litigation, etc.) not involving gainful employment. Participation in educational, professional, business, or religious conventions is also permissible B-1 activity. Applicants for B-1 status must demonstrate a clear intent to continue a foreign residence. See other sections of this website for a more detailed description.
