Tourist Visa (Unemployed)

[DemenekKem 0]

Hi, I'm currently based in the UK under skilled worker visa.

 

I'm planning to visit my boyfriend in the US and I will stay there with him for 3 months. 

 

Question is, since my current employer would not allow me to have long-term leave and I'll decide to resign, would I be questioned by the immigration regarding my employment status?

 

Also, if my boyfriend would decide to propose after my 3 months stay, would the immigration ask my employment status in the UK as well?

Yes, CBP can ask you about your employment and other strong ties to your country of residence.  Resigning a job just to visit the US could be seen as actually planning to stay in the US.  If CBP even suspects that is the case, they can send you right back on the next flight.  I suggest preparing to show strong ties to the UK.

Note:  Entering the US as a visitor with the intent to stay and adjust status is fraud.

Is this for a B visa application rather than the VWP? What is your home country? If you don't have strong ties to the UK and you have a US based boyfriend, there's a good chance your B visa will be refused.

Actually, I've just realised - if you're on a skilled worker visa in the UK and resign from your job, then your visa will be cancelled. So where are you planning on going to after your trip to the US? Do note that it's immigration fraud if your plan is to try and marry your boyfriend and stay in the US.

It may be better to apply for a B in your Home Country once you have re established yourself, it may be difficult for the London Consulate to asses the situation of someone in the UK on a temp work visa.
