Hi all,

So I have tried looking for an answer for this but it's about as clear as mud to me.

My situation: I have been with my spouse for two years. I have made several trips to the states for the maximum amount of 90 days and on this trip we got married. We are planning on applying for the IR1/CR1 visa and are still in the process of pulling our folder together to send off.

Both of us are self employed with my partner being the breadwinner and able to support me while I stay in the states. I am the owner of a small, product based business (I design and create jewellery) so it is difficult for me to maintain a functioning business whilst being away for three months at a time, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make in order to be with my partner as much as possible.

Would the B-1 visa be relevant for my purposes in that....could I create and sell my jewellery whilst I am in the united states on a 90 day stay?

I am from the UK so am subject to the VWP.

Thank you in advance!

IR1 would be the obvious.

Like I said, we are in the process of doing the IR1/CR1 visa - we will be granted (in hopes) the CR1 as we are married less than two years. So my question made clearer is this: Is there a short term visa I can apply for whilst my IR1/CR1 visa is being processed that allows me to continue my business while I am staying in the states on the standard 90 day allowance?

Thank you :)
