B-1 in Lieu of H-1B or H-3
Foreign nationals who would ordinarily be granted H-1B or H-3 (training) status may be admitted with B-1 visas provided that they are paid from abroad. For a B-1 in lieu of H-1B visa, the foreign national must present proof that he or she will remain employed by his or her overseas firm. A person in B-1 in lieu of H-1B status may provide local services for a limited time.
Note, it is essential that the remuneration or source of income for services performed in the United States continue to be provided by the business entity located abroad
