Going for interview on Visa Waiver
Hi,
is it possible and legal to go for job interviews in the US on the Visa
Waiver?
Maybe you even have a link to an official site which states it?
Thanks a lot

Personally, I would recommend departing foreign BEFORE the 90 day period is over.

Re: Going for interview on Visa Waiver
Whilst it's perfectly legal, you won't find an official US government or embassy website which states as such (I've looked!). I went for a job interview under the VWP and provided you don't receive any money (expenses are OK though) then you're fine. I wouldn't mention it at the airport since you might be asked "what happens if you get the job?"... Chances are you'll be going somewhere touristy anyway and millions of Brits go on holiday, so no worries. Just have your hotel booked, your return ticket handy and enough money for your stay. The advice about returning home for a visa is correct though.
