DOS Issues Cable on B-1 in Lieu of H-1B and H-3

A 6/21/12 DOS cable notes that guidance on B-1 in lieu of H is currently under review but remains in effect until further notice. In order to avoid delays at the port of entry, consular officers are to annotate the B-1 visa with “B in lieu of H, 9 FAM 41.31 N11.”
