yes...2 years or passport expiration, whichever is sooner.

Just a bit of feedback, I phoned US Customs and Border and was told that in order to enter the US for a job interview, I needed a Business Visa and I could not enter on the WVP.

Thank you for the responses here.

You can get away with the VWP for a "business meeting", but that term is very vague and not well documented. Otherwise you'll need a B1.
