Specifically, in Matter of Hira, the government found that a tailor traveling to the U.S. as a business visitor was permitted to meet with customers and take orders and measurements, since the origin of the activities were based in Hong Kong where his employer contracted with customers, manufactured the suits and paid the tailor’s salary. See: 11 I & N Dec. 824 (A.G. 1966). Because the principal place of business and the profits were accrued abroad, the Board of Immigration Appeals determined that the activities of the tailor fell within the permissible activities of a B-1 visitor.
