Re-entering the US as a tourist?

Question

I am a British citizen currently in the US on a 3 month visa (visa waiver, valid another month). I want to stay here but know I cannot extend the visa waiver, I have to leave the US and return. I know I have to return to my country of origin (UK), but does anyone know how long I have to stay in the UK for before I can return here to the States? Will a week be enough? Will it be difficult for me to re-enter the States?

Answer 1

Sure ANY ONE gets intoour country ,,,Our system is a joke and once yu get here they have no idea who is in our country ,,,When I lived over seas I had to have my visa updated every 6 months,,,Maybe the us can learn from them,,,

Answer 2

Hi
I visit the USA with a Visitor Visa.( max 6 months stay in US)
I am from the UK and visit the USA every 8 weeks or so , stay there a couple of weeks then come back to UK.
When I return to the US, my 6 months starts again..(if I wanted to stay there 6 months)
How long you need to be outside of US before you return..I am not sure.
I stay out for about 8 weeks at a tlme.
I bin doing this for about the past 7 years.

Jennyanne4...When I enter the USA, I have to give an accommodation address...be photographed and finger printed..and the same on the way out.
I know that when I enter the US a file is opened on me and it is not closed until I leave.
They have the number of my credit card...( the airline is obliged to give that information) so they Know where I am if I use it.
Overstaying in the US is not as easy as you think.

Answer 3

You do not need to return to the UK in order to receive another I-94W (the green card in your passport that some Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officer issued to you when you entered the U.S.). You do have to leave the U.S. though. There is no set amount of time that you need to remain outside the U.S. But be prepared, when the CBP officer checks the record and finds out you were only outside the US for a day or a week, questions will be asked. We are always trying to find people who are living in the U.S. without the proper visa. If you abuse the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), you can be denied entry and required to obtain a visa from a U.S. consulate just like everyone else has to do.

Answer 4

once you go away the rustic, your vacationer visa would be void. If immigration determines which you initially entered with the rationale of marrying whilst right here on a vacationer visa, you will no longer get yet another, and you're able to locate getting the better half visa a great undertaking. in case you marry, then go away, you will in uncomplicated terms have the skill to be conscious for a miles better half visa. Your marrying on a vacationer visa would abate that technique. Immigration would view your marriage as a "marriage of convenience" and deny you.

Answer 5

The immigration officer at the POE might ask you a few questions . If i would be you, i would bring some binding ties from the UK with me (work contract from uk , insurance contract and such things ) . He might gonna ask you ,what you do such a long time in the US and where you get the money from for such a long stay .Maybe its better you aplly in the UK for a B-Visum (then you can stay longer that this VW 90 Days )

Answer 6

It doesn't matter how long you were out, you can enter the same day as long as you have a valid passport, you don't need a visa to enter if you are British and if you got one anyway then the visa has to be valid only up to the day you enter.

Answer 7

All you have to do is to call an American consulate in your country and ask. They will give you an definate answer.

If your intent is to stay here for other reason than for a pleasure trip, then coming back as a toursist won't be an answer. If this is the case, you should seek an assistance of an attorney and approach it more appropriately.
