A common question I get asked a lot, is it advisable to visit a neighbouring country and then reenter the United States, allowing for another 90-day stay under the Visa Waiver Program?
If you have already spent the maximum 90 days in the United States under the Visa Waiver Programme (VWP), leaving the country and visiting a neighbouring country for a short period of time before re-entering the US with the intention to stay another 90 days under the VWP may raise concerns.
While there is no specific rule prohibiting immediate re-entry after a short trip to a neighbouring country, US immigration authorities may view such actions as an attempt to circumvent the 90-day limit and potentially deny entry. The VWP is intended for temporary visits, and using it to effectively live in the US for an extended period is not in line with the programme's purpose.
If you have the intention of staying longer in the US, it is advisable to explore proper visa options that align with your desired length of stay, such as a tourist visa or other appropriate visa category. Obtaining the correct visa will allow you to remain in the US legally for an extended period without violating any immigration rules.
To get accurate and up-to-date information regarding visa requirements and travel policies, it's recommended to consult official sources such as the UK Home Office or the US Embassy in the UK, or consider reaching out to an immigration attorney for personalised advice based on your specific circumstances.
Happy US travels.
