Best Answer for Purpose of Visit on US B1/B2 Visa?

The best answer is to be clear, truthful, and concise, since the B1/B2 visa covers both business and tourism.

You can say something like:

“I am visiting the USA for business meetings and also for tourism during my stay.”

Why this works:

• B1 allows business activities such as meetings, conferences, or negotiations.

• B2 allows leisure travel, visiting friends/family, and sightseeing.

• The combined visa (B1/B2) is meant exactly for people who may do both in one trip.

Avoid giving vague or misleading answers like just “vacation” if you also plan business, or just “meetings” if you also plan tourism. Consistency with your documents, invitation letters, and itinerary is important.
