You're replying as if you are Peter, but you are not. And to make matters worse, I'm pretty sure you are wrong. This is not the point of a B1 visa. A B1 visa is about temporarily doing business in the US such as negotiating contracts, not using the visa to set up a business.



There's an exception of sorts: if a B-1 visitor is coming to the U.S.to set up a business in anticipation of applying for an E-1 or E-2 visa, then this is permissible.


No I'm not. I'm replying as myself who is actually on a B1 visa setting up a business to get in order to get an E-2 later on. That is perfectly legal.

FYI, you can set up a US business without setting foot in the country.
