As business operations increasingly become more global, more foreign nationals are entering the U.S. to conduct "business." This panel will address the proper use of the B-1 business visitor visa. It will cover what activities are permissible, as well as discuss what a client should bring and be prepared to say at a U.S. consulate and at the port of entry. Finally, the session will also address how to deal with denials at the consulate and port of entry. Steven M. Ladik, Andrew T. Chan, Christi Hufford, Nita Nicole Upadhye
