Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostI'm not aware of a category of business visa that will allow you to do this either. For example, the terms of a B class visa are the same as those for the VWP (they are used by people that don't qualify for the VWP), i.e. no productive work. Notwithstanding some explicit exceptions (e.g. installation of equipment), you'll need an employment visa if you want to engage in an activity that's similar to employment.

Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostAre you a US citizen, a GC holder or do you otherwise have an employment visa? If your answer to all of those things is no then, strictly, you cannot, because training is "productive" work, and you cannot do it under the VWP. If your question is about how best to lie, my advice would be, don't do it. YMMV.

Doing business in USA, explaining it Americans.
I am looking to offer business in the states, 1-2 weeks of corporate training, how do I go about explaining it at the airport security. Ie to tell them I am doing business there, not going to work in the states.
I guess I need to read https://www.gov.uk/guidance/exporting-to-the-usa and
https://www.gov.uk/government/public...ness-in-the-us
