What is the difference between the B-1/B-2 business and tourist visa and the Student Work and Travel Pilot Program visa?
Australian participants in the Student Work and Travel Pilot Program may work and travel in the U.S. for up to 12 months. The B-1/B-2 business and tourist visa allows short stays to conduct business meetings, attend conferences, visit family, or engage in other temporary business or tourist activities. B-1/B-2 visa holders may generally not work or study in the U.S., with only certain specific exceptions provided for under U.S. immigration regulations.
