There are many categories of visas that allow for individuals to enter the United States to do business, including working in the United States, starting a new business, opening a new office of a foreign company, participating in internships, exchange programs, sports competitions, artistic performances, work-related training, and other activities. Many categories of work visas also permit visas for a recipient’s spouse and children.
