Geez, LHR you have a way with words don't you. Bet you are a bundle of fun to fly with. My US visa with my previous company was acceptable and I did not have to go anywhere on my days off to get it renewed/revalidated. Would I do a JFK in preference to some awful trip if offerred, hell yes. Would they get a hold of me- no chance my mobile is switched off on days off and I have no land line. Hehe, chill
