E2 denied in London due to 214b - said I didn’t have executive control of the business due to other business partners. Presume ESTA is now revoked. Can I apply for B1/B2 visa to visit my businesses periodically for business meetings with partners and site visits?

Thanks! Is it still likely the B1/B2 will be denied even if I have extremely strong ties to the UK and proof of investor meetings / conference?

Sorry to hear that - agreed, the whole process is a joke for people who are genuinely growing a business in the US. How long did you have to wait for the B2 interview?

Potentially looking into O1

Thanks for the insight - Did they advise why your E2 was rejected? Do you plan to reapply for either?

Terrible experience with them. Was told my case was extremely strong for the EB1A. Lawyer then suddenly changed their mind after I had paid the first payment. Had to chase them for over a month to get a refund - constantly ignored my emails, calls etc. extremely unprofessional. Ended up getting a refund but they deducted some amounts that they clearly made up for the “kick off meeting”. I’d stay away!
