Answer

No, you cannot work on a B1/B2 visa. Working (even unpaid internships) violates your visa status.

What is considered "work":

  • Any employment (paid or unpaid)
  • Running a business
  • Providing services
  • Volunteer work that would normally be paid

Allowed activities:

  • Business meetings and conferences
  • Attending training (if not productive work)
  • Tourism and sightseeing
Share: WhatsApp Facebook X LinkedIn Email
