Extending visit

[Gail83 21]

Hi guys,

Would be grateful for any advice you can give. I plan to visit my USC fiancé in mid November for 2 weeks however due to changes with my job I may be able to stay longer but still within the 90 days permitted under the vwp. If I changed my return date once I was there would this be likely to cause any problems with our pending K1? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

If you are allowed to enter on the VWP with a pending K1 and as long as you do not overstay I would think you should be fine! Enjoy your time!

It will not cause any problems. Of course you are assuming that the CBP person will grant you the full 90 days. They may decide to grant you only 4 weeks or some other amount of time. Just make certain you leave before the date they enter and you will be good to go.

Have a nice trip,

Dave

Thanks for the quick and positive reply. It's only my second trip to the US, do you think they're likely to grant me less than the 90 days?

No, you should get the full 90 days. My MIL received 90 days on her first visit. I just want you to be aware that they sometimes MAY reduce the time, but that is usually for people who have visited several times within the past few months and it looks like they are not just visiting the US.

Since you have a K-1 pending, it may come up and that may cause them to reduce the allotted time. Just bring proof of ties to your country and do not lie. Do not offer any information, but always answer truthfully.

Good luck,

Dave

VWP is 90 days or nothing.

Whether you stay a week or 89 days it does not matter.

Longer stays can be an issue if you repeat them.
