B1 or B2 please?

[laara]

Hello everyone,

My worplace is willing to financially sponsor me for a week in the US as a appreciation for my recent performances. They also wants me to attend a couple of design conferences while I am there. I will have the conferences on two different locations and will be having around 3 days for sight seeing and to do some shopping and whatnot. Should I apply for a B1 or a B2 visa? And since my employer is financially sponsoring the entire tour what documents should I need to submit? Should I also show my financials? I recently had a canadian trv refusal also. Will that be an issue? I have travelled to the UK 4 times and thailand once. And I have one unused japanese visa. My family lives in England. I will be having my wedding in April.

Please explain my odds of suceeding?

Thanks very much

Since your worplace is sponsoring & the prime purpose of your travel is business, you should apply for B1 only.
