Thanks for the advice.

Does it make a difference if I own the company that is registered
in the US?

I have a lawyer who is confident that he can overturn this. He thinks
that not disputing the decision is tantamount to saying I lied
intentionally on the form. But the last thing I want to do is be unable
to return to the US in the future - am I gambling with that possibility,
or is disputing the decision reasonable as the lawyer says?

i think the authorities are under the impression that my only
connection to the comapny is as a volunteer as suggested above - this
is incorrect, and what, I think, is the basis for the denial. The
lawyer seems to concur.

I got the visa by saying that I was conducting business research. I
spoke to the embassy and asked what visa I needed - they stated it
was B1/B2.

Lastly, can anyone explain what use this visa is if firstly i get a 3
month stamp on entry - exactly the same as a visa waiver - and can't
extend the damn thing unless I'm sick. Why do they offer extensions?

Thanks.
