Hi Everyone,

I know the "rule of thumb" rules on visa waiver, and as far as I can see there is nothing concrete about time between re-entries on the VWP. I just wanted to seek some opinions on my Mom re-entering the States after being here for a little while.

Here are the details

Visited the US

Feb 24 2012 until May 5th 2012

Nov 10 2012 until Jan 6 2013

and we were planning another trip from around March 4th 2013 until May 2013 sometime.

After the trip in May the frequency of visits will die down and she probably won't be back again till the end of the year. I was wondering if retired people traveling a little more frequently are viewed a little different because they are retired and able to travel as they aren't working. Also, she has extremely strong ties to the UK.

Considering she'll have been out for as long as her last trip lasted, and as a retired person there is little fear of her illegally working, I think she'll be fine. Of course, you cannot know for sure until she gets to the border.

Yep,

an older woman who unlikely wants to work the fields or the slaughterhouse as an illegal alien will not encounter the typical problems of a visitor. The fact that she comes and goes in a timely manner works in her favor.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
