Frequently Asked Questions
Business activity in these islands is extremely limited. Most islands are either uninhabited or restricted to US government and military use. The Palmyra Atoll has some scientific research activity managed by the Nature Conservancy. Wake Island supports limited logistical and military contractor activity. Any business presence would require coordination with the relevant US federal agency managing that specific territory.
The US State Department typically issues a combined B-1/B-2 visa that covers both business and tourism purposes. Pakistani applicants usually apply for the combined visa unless there is a specific reason to apply for only one category.
Extensions of stay in US territories are subject to US immigration law and must be applied for through US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) before the authorized period of admission expires. Extensions are not guaranteed and are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
