B-2 Tourist Visa
 The B-2 Visa is issued for pleasure trips for a brief period of time, and may also be granted to spouses, children and parents of B-1 Visa holders. The State Department defines the term "pleasure" as legitimate activities of a recreational character, including tourism, amusement, visits to friends and/or relatives, rest, medical treatment and activities of a social or service nature. The B-2 Visa can also be used by foreign students wishing to visit or tour U.S. schools prior to enrollment. One should make sure to inform the embassy or consulate of such intentions when the B-1 Visa is recieved, and upon entry to the U.S. It is also sometimes possible to change to another temporary or permanent status without leaving the U.S.
