- madeofpalk 10y agoBy 'tourist visa' you mean ESTA, right. Lithuanians are eligible for this. While on the ESTA you can conduct 'business meetings'. I've (tried) to raise VC, interview at YC and conduct job interviews on the ESTA and it's been fine. At least the border patrol people didn't seem to mind.
- ipince 10y agoHe means a tourist visa, B-2. But you're right that the guy im the article is from Lithuania, so he might be using an ESTA.
- madeofpalk 10y agoIs there a reason why someone from a country participating in the US Visa Waiver Program would seek to get a Tourist Visa rather than the ESTA?
- mitoyarzun 10y agoESTA allows you to stay up to 3 months, no change of status allowed. B1/B2 allows a maximum of 6 months, with the possibility to change status without leaving the country.

- kchoudhu 10y agoStraight from border control's mouth: you can't look for work on a B2. I got razzed about this a couple of times when entering the US as a foreign national.
