Rahul,
I came to USA in a Business Visa B1 from Calcutta for Ushacommunications Calcutta based Billing Telecom Company to conduct meetings with the client to analyze there systems.B1 visa is strictly for Business Meetings and you get a per diem from the company sending you to US on a B1 visa to bear the cost of your food and lodging expenses.
B1 visa is for a short stay 1-3 months you get a I-94 from the INS and you go back to India after your business trip.
If you want to come and work here in USA you have to come in a H1B visa or a L1 visa (Inter Company transfer).
But dont come to USA on an H1B with the help of body shopping company its a disgrace the Consulting company will Bull you and its better to stay and work in India than to come here with the help of body shoppers.
Many companies send people to USA on a long term basis on a work permit and if you work for any of them then you have the oppurtunity to come here through them with an work permit (H1B/L1)
Hope my little piece of advice will help you
