If you're doing ordinary work I think that violates the terms of the B-1/B-2 visa - even if under 90 days.
- midasuni 4y agoLike most law it’s vague and subject to whims, there’s no flow chart to give you a definite answer. If you go to meet team members in your NY office, interview some new staff, and look for a new building to move the office to, that’s all fine. If you happen to do some unrelated sysadmin work on your servers in london while you’re there, that’s probably fine too, as your primary reason to visit is quite clearly fine. If you went for a holiday for 2 weeks(on a B2 or esta) and happened to answer a phone call from work that’s fine. If you went on holiday for 2 weeks and spent 10 days working remotely that’s probably not fine. If you went on a family holiday for 4 weeks but did a few days work remotely that’s might be ok. If you did it several times a year though it probably wouldn’t be. There’s no hard and fast rule in law, and doubly so in immigration where the power to allow you in sits with the guy at the airport. https://legalservicesincorporated.com/immigration/what-activities-are-permitted-under-a-b-1-business-visitor-visa/ https://legalservicesincorporated.com/immigration/what-activ... has a good overview.
