Can I legally work in the US with B1 B2 visa?

An individual on a visitor visa (B1/B2) is not permitted to accept employment or work in the United States. There is no guarantee you will be issued a visa. Do not make final travel plans or buy tickets until you have a visa. A valid U.S. visa in an expired passport is still valid.

Can I change my B1 B2 visa to work visa?

The answer is yes, you can, but should you? A change of status means a change in your intention. For example, when you obtain a visa and enter the USA, you would have expressed to the US government your intention of a brief visit. The change in such intention can be construed to be deliberate and preconceived.

Can I get work permit on visitor visa in USA?

If you are a nonimmigrant visa holder, such as an international student, researcher, or refugee you may be able to work temporarily in the United States with an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) work permit.

How long can you stay in the US with a B1 B2 visa?

The holder of a B-2 visa can stay for a maximum of 180 days per entry (several times consecutively or at a time). These conditions apply to all visits until the visa has expired. After that the person must reapply for the visa at their U.S. consulate.
