About Visa Waiver Program and B-1/B-2 visa
Upvote:1
I dont know much about the VWP and how you applied for it and got it. I dont think I have ever used that as I've been in US on multiple visas: F1, F1-OPT, H1s and so on.
I was in the US last year on B1/B2 - mostly hanging with friends, but talking to friends about some new startup ideas and so on. With friends its always a bit of a mix of both.. But why put red flags up for the officers?
Went to Brazil for a month trip, back to US few months, then to Mexico trip, back to US and back to my country.
At the consulate when I got the 10 year multiple entry B1/B2 (2 years before this trip) I had just mentioned that I was overdue on catching up with lot of friends all across the US.
So, the same thing everytime I made a re-entry at the port of entry.
Bottomline, be relaxed and confident even if they officer throws a few curve balls. Less information, casual & simple.
I generally talk about loving traveling and flying all over the place.
If you add a lot of information to the discussion, you are making the Visa or Immigration officer think too much.. and if they think too much about it, then you have their attention.
The goal is to not catch their attention, but be friendly and pleasing.. which I am sure you learned as a student in California :)
