Work meeting while on US B2 visa?
I'm planning to be in the United States several times over the next few years (mostly visiting my wife's family). I will be working remotely for my employer in New Zealand, as well as taking some holiday. As I understand it, the B2 tourist visa allows this.
My question is, if my employer asks me to attend a meeting with their corporate parent, or one of their partners in the USA, is this still allowed? No such meeting has been suggested, and I won't even be in the same state, but I'd like to know what the possibilities are if it does come up.
