The B-1 non immigrant visa is given to people who wish to conduct business transactions inside the United States of America. This visa is designed to allow people to conduct business while in the U.S., but does not allow the holder to actually be gainfully employed or to run a business in the U.S. The B1 Visa is always issued together with a B2 visa and is called B1/B2. 

The H-1B is a non-immigrant visa in the United States under the Immigration & Nationality Act, section 101(a)(15)(H). It allows U.S. employers to employ foreign guest workers in specialty occupations.

An L-1 visa is a visa document used to enter the United States for the purpose of work in L-1 status. It is a non-immigrant visa, and is valid for generally three years. L-1 visas are available to employees of an international company with offices in both a home country and the United States. The visa allows such foreign workers to relocate to the corporation's U.S. office after having worked abroad for the company for at least one year prior to being granted L-1 status. The U.S. office must be a parent company, child company, or sister company to the foreign company.  Spouses of L-1 visa holders are allowed to work, without restriction, in the U.S., and the L-1 visa may legally be used as a steppingstone to the Green Card under the doctrine of dual intent.

The F-1 visa is a non-immigrant, full-time, student visa that allows foreigners to pursue education in the United States. The "F" visa is reserved for non-immigrants wishing to pursue academic studies and/or language training programs. F-1 visas are given only through academic institutions. Vocational education is not included in the F1 visa; for vocational education, an M visa should be obtained.

An illegal immigration is a foreigner who either illegally crossed an international political border, whether by land, water, or air, or a foreigner who legally entered a country but overstays his/her visa in order to live and/or work therein. An illegal immigrant faces deportation.

Deportation generally means the expulsion of someone from a place or country. In general, deportation is reserved for foreigners who commit serious crimes, enter the country illegally, overstay their visa, or face trial by another country (see extradition). It can also be used on non-criminal visitors and foreign residents who are considered to be a threat to the country.
