I work for an Industrial Automation firm and generally our clients include courier companies, ecommerce companies etc. One of our clients which has offices in Dubai, US and India has purchased machines from us for all these locations. We faced no issues in getting visa for Dubai.
However for installation in US, it seems I would need a B1 in lieu of H1B visa as the installation work requires some productive work to be done.
Since my company has no branch in US, I can't apply for H1B or L1 type of visa. However my B1 visa was denied saying I can't do such type of work on B1 visa.
Now, I am confused what visa I should apply for as the contract requires us to install the equipment at US site and also give the training to their staff to operate the same.
