About USA Tourist Visas
United States Tourist Visas are normally issued from 1 to 10 years, and in most cases visas are valid for multiple entries into to the United States. USA Visa holders are allowed to enter the United States by air, sea or land border crossings. One of many advantages of entering the United States with a visa is that you can apply for an extension of stay or in certain cases change status to e.g. another type of visa or permanent resident (Green Card).
Tourism and Business on the same trip: If you have a valid USA Tourist Visa, you may visit the United States for both tourism and business reasons during the same trip.
