Strange stamp in passport from USA boarder control

Five_Star · 6 Jul 2011 at 15:23

Just got back from my last trip to the USA, thats 4 inside the last 18 months, all work related.

Every time I've entered the country I get the stamp and the officer has written "WB" inside it to signify waiver business as I only have a ESTA.

This time the guy actually stamped separately "WBWTB1"

I know that if I wanted to stay longer than 90 days I would need a B1 visa but have never applied for one.

Am I going to get pulled up next time about my frequent visits for work just using an ESTA?

Maybe give the US Embassy Visa people a call and ask?

I would also suggest the forums at: http://www.visajourney.com/ - lots of extremely knowledgeable people on there.....was a godsend when I moved over here.

Of course, I remember the hassle of getting the 09 embassy number unbarred from our VoIP provider I'll call them from work tomorrow.

Must be the jetlag
