Hallo hi :}
We're a small graphic/web design company based in Sydney but in a wave of reckless spontaneity, I've decided to extend a family wedding trip to the US into a partial business trip to see if we could make contacts and gain clients in the US.
Just wondering if someone's had any experience doing this? Can anyone offer advice?
I'm going to be in LA, Sacramento, NY and Tampa (FL). Any help would be much appreciated!

Be careful about what is on your visa application and what is in your luggage, in terms of work-related collateral. I believe if immigration gets even the slightest hint that you are in the US for anything other than the family wedding, you’ll be on that hellish Qantas flight back home before you know it.
Or maybe I am just paranoid.

Uh oh.. really? Thanks for the tip, Mister! :}
I think i'm paranoid too! hehe. Am thinking that maybe we can send them in advance from Sydney? I'm leaving in about three weeks... hopefully people will get them in time! Also, I'm deliberating on whether I need to tick the 'holiday' or 'business trip' box on the visa because i was hoping to claim some of the trip as a tax expense too! eep! x_oAll this stuff makes me feel a little light-headed.
Really appreciate your thoughts.. thank you! :}- No problem. I am, by no means, an authority on this, but it’s probably best to check.MrOneHundred
- still - glad that you mentioned it! because it didn't even cross my mind! :}claret
