VWP two times a year? Not Ready for Marriage!

[hollywoodwalk 0]

My situation:

I've been on a student visa in America for almost 4 years. My visa expires and I need to leave in October. Me and my boyfriend decided not to get married for now, and is now trying to figure out a solution. We've been together for the entire time I

ve been here but we are just not ready to get married yet, especially not under stress.

Can I go back to Sweden for a month or so, and then go back to the US on the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) and stay for 90 days?

Can I do this two times a year?

Does anybody have any experience doing this?

Also, if you have any further information or experience in this situation, please do let me know as I'm not sure about how it all works at all. . . . if you don't want to answer in the forum . . . ( please use the private PM function here on Visa Journey to contact the OP - VJ Administration).

A side question: How much harder is it to get a green card through marriage using a K-1 visa instead of just adjusting status? I realize this question is in the wrong forum but I figured I throw it in anyway

Thanks in advance

Well, technically you 'can' enter the US as often as you wish with the VWP as long as you leave before the 90 days are up on each visit. However, there are certain guidelines that are mentioned on forums like this that you should wait as long as you were in (or at least 6 months) before you reenter to avoid special attention from the USCIS officers at your port on entry. It would look awfully suspiscious to be in the US for so long and then come back after only one month. Their job is to ensure that you're going to go back home to Sweden within 90 days, but only going there for one month after 4 years tells them that you don't really like going home.

Hope that helps. Good luck with this mess!
