VWP vs a B1/B2 visa I already have - using which makes more sense for me?

Accepted answer

Use your visa. You already have a visa, you don't need a waiver nor ESTA.

Entering the US with a visa waiver rather than a visa gives no extra benefit to you than entering with your visa. In fact, the visa allows for a little more freedom than the VWP - a longer stay (up to 180 days instead of 90 days) and the ability to enter the US without having to have pre-booked onward travel.

An ESTA will cost you $21 to apply and is only valid for 2 years. You've already got a valid, paid-for, visa. It doesn't make sense to try to use VWP instead.
