• When going through immigration please open your passport to the B1 visa page and insert your B1 letter. Please
hand these documents only to the immigration officer.

system is now digital, but if your passport was physically stamped with a C1 or a status other than a B1 please ask
nicely to have this altered as you are coming in for training and require to be stamped in on your B1 visa. You can
also state that you are not receiving salary while in the United States.
