[speaker001:] Hello miss. Can I see your ticket number?
[speaker002:] Sure, here you are. And here are my application forms as well.
[speaker001:] Thank you miss... Wang. I'm Bob Jones and I'll be handling your application.
[speaker002:] Nice to meet you Mr. Jones.
[speaker001:] The first step is to determine your eligibility for a U. S. visa. Let's see here... you're applying for a special business visa. Why is that?
[speaker002:] Well, my first order of business will be attending a conference in Seattle, but after that I intend to spend two weeks visiting my friends. I assumed a business visa would be required.
[speaker001:] I think a regular visitor's visa should suffice. With this visa, you can stay in the United States for up to 90 days.
[speaker002:] So I can attend conferences and do business on that visa?
[speaker001:] Yes. You are free to do temporary business with this visa. If you were planning on setting up a new business in the U. S. you might need to apply for a long-term visa.
[speaker002:] Oh, I see. I think 90 days is more than enough time.
