British Citizen Spouse Travelling to USA with a green card holder husband

[Syed M 0]

Dear All,

I am Green card holder and a British citizen. I have maintained US green card and also obtained a Re-Entry permit. I have been living in UK due to my work commitments. I am planning to move to USA soon. My wife is also a British citizen .

We are planning to visit USA next month as our cousin is getting married. i have few questions.

• My wife can travel USA under visa waiver programme. Is there any problem if we travel together?
• I am about to apply for my Wife for US immigration. As we are planning to move USA.
• If i apply for her immigration visa, can my wife still enter USA with her British passport ?

Kindly advise me. Your support will be much appreciated.

Many Thanks

Syed

There shouldn't be any problem.

Yes, she can use the VWP with a pending immigration case. However, the VWP does not guarantee entry into the US. That's at the discretion of the CBP.

Bring proof of ties to the UK just in case.

Thanks. So as a British citizen she should be able to travel into USA. She got an ESTA as well.

i am just worried whether we should face the immigration officer together of separate. I got British passport and a re entry permit of my Green card.

They say families should pass through CBP together. I visited my husband 16 times on the VWP before moving over and never really had an issues. Like aaron said, just be prepared and bring strong ties to the UK such as employment letter, mortgage deed/rental agreement etc.
