Hi Guys,
So I have a cadetship with Bibby starting in Jan at STC. I already have a B1/B2 US Visa which is a business visa (B1 part) and a holiday/Pleasure visa (B2). Now the B1 allows me to travel within the US for business purposes for up to 28 days, this includes any business affair acting on behalf of a company etc etc, Which the way I interpret it is that as I will be employed whilst at sea, entering the US for the shipping companies business purposes, my visa should cover me.
Now the question is would I still need a C1D visa too? Clearly my visa is far superior to the C1D. Go figure it allows me far more freedom and is a much harder visa to obtain.
Has anyone heard of Commercial guys sailing with a B1/B2? Bibby say it should not be a problem and will not need a C1D but I want to make sure...
Cheers!!
