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.

Some red flags here.. What would you have to go back to the UK for? Based on what you wrote, I would consider you a very high risk of not leaving the US anymore.

OP, I concur with the others that you have a number of red flags.  The fact that you're using the term '3 months' is an indication that someone might have told you the (erroneous) 90 day rule as a way of getting around US immigration.  It won't work.

Why would your boyfriend propose right after the 3 month stay? You would be home again because you really shouldn’t have your return flight right on day 90. Make it an 85 day-ish stay to be sure you won’t accidentally overstay.

Do you have a tourist visa already?

 

It seems like if you were actually planning on just visiting the U.S. and then returning to the U.K., you would take a much shorter trip to ensure you're able to keep your U.K. based job, and the U.K. visa.
