No more Slavic conference for me in the US then. To make it worthwhile because employers/inviter will not cover full travel costs, I subsidise my legitimate research travel to US in particular with 'honoraria' = speakers fees. As in the classic song: 'gudbai, Amerika, O!'

If you are paid travel and expenses that is business travel; if you are paid a speaker fee (especially if it is paid to you personally rather to your employer) it becomes work. (In the UK we have a specific visa for paid speakers).
