Business Visa or Business with personal?

[Richard29 0]

Hi! I am a licensed real estate broker of the Philippines. I received an invitation from an aunt in US. The invitation states that I and my company(real estate developer) are invited in her organization as a doctor and in her associations as a filipino to do presentations, marketing, and the like to generate sales. I did the proposal to my company and they accepted the proposal. Hence, the company vouches my and my sales director's trip in the US. My first question is which type of visa should we pursue?(B1 for purely business or B1/B2 for business and personal). Our primary purpose is do the marketing and sales in my aunt's organization and association to generate sales for my company. However if it is also permitted that we tour at the same time, will that be advisable or just go for a B1 so to have a greater chance of obtaining a visa. My second question is what could be other ways, aside from my certificate of employment and the letter from my aunt in the US, to show that the plan is to do promotions alone and there is certainty of coming back in the Philippines? thank you

B1/2.

I would take plenty of evidence of your existing business relationship, details of sales already made etc.
