I'll be here for the next 5-6 hours. As usual, there are countless topics given the rapidly changing immigration landscape and I'll be guided by whatever you're concerned with. Please remember that I can't provide legal advice on specific cases because I won't have access to all the facts. Please stick to a factual discussion in your questions and I'll try to do the same in my answers.

Edit: I am taking a break now and will return later this afternoon/evening to respond to any comments and answer any questions. Thank you everyone for a great and engaged AMA so far.

I used to go to a as a simple tourist on the basis that we were trying to raise capital for a telecom start up. Delaware C, SVB bank account. They just asked questions and let me in for 6 months. Anything changed?

That is still an acceptable basis for admission as a business visitor but you need to be prepared to provide detail about your meetings and provide documentation regarding your intended activities, ability to support yourself while here, and ties to your home country.
