Hi everyone,

I have applied for a J1 exchange visitor on June 28th in Paris in order to work in New York to pay my holidays. Unfortunately my case went under administrative processing and i didn't get any news since.

The problem is that i didn't know it could be so long so I have bought my plane ticket which is non refundable (i know I shouldn't have) and the departure is on Wednesday.

So my question is, can I go to the US with the ticket i have bought and the Visa Waiver Program ESTA (because i'm french) while my J1 visa is under administrative process?

Thank you.

(sorry if my english is not good)

Technically, yes. Realistically, they are unlikely to let you in.
