Not an immigration attorney but looks like B1 visa is what they need and it cost $185.

The B-1 visa is a nonimmigrant visa that allows foreign nationals to enter the United States temporarily for business activities, such as attending conferences, negotiating contracts, or consulting with business associates, but not for employment.

The fee for a B1 visa is $185, according to the U.S. Department of State. This fee applies to non-petition-based nonimmigrant visas, which includes B1 visas for business and tourism.

And yeah, there is additional bureaucracy involved ...

The processing time for a B-1 visa can vary, but generally, you can expect to wait 3-6 weeks after submitting your application and completing the visa interview at the embassy, though it can take longer, potentially up to three months or more.
