What does a B1/B2 visa give a person?

Such a visa is issued for a period of 10 years. It gives the opportunity to visit America regularly, staying there for 1 visit for up to 180 days. But if we are talking about business visits, then their border officers usually allow up to 90 days for 1 trip. However, their decisions are influenced by various factors. These are the regularity of previous trips, visa history, length of stay in the States. In general, during the year you can make up to 10 trips.
