Hi,
I am a freelance journalist and write for several international publications including an equity research agency in the U.S.. This agency has invited me to participate in an internal company conference in September. I will not be doing any reporting or writing articles on this trip. I have a B1/B2 visa issued in 2001 on which I have made one journey that same year. The visa has annotation which says "Journalist".
I have read recent reports that journalists on B1/B2 visa are being turned back from the U.S. and asked to get an "I" visa instead. Can I travel on my existing visa for the above stated purpose.
Thanks in advance for your help!
