Okay so something has come up that has started to stress me out a little (what s new)& I m looking for advice.
Up until February of this year I d been travelling back & forth across the border to visit my now fianc since 2018 (we were just dating at the time).
Now I m a Canadian Permanent Resident, with a British Passport so I m part of the VWP. I have a valid ESTA. Once my I-94 ran out after & I re-entered I was granted a new one.
None of the border officers really had an issue with this since I lived 20 minutes from the border to Niagara Falls, NY and would literally walk across the Rainbow Bridge.
However because of my UK passport, regardless of the fact I ve lived in Canada since I was 12.
I m only allowed 90 days in the US as opposed to the 180 Canadian Citizens are allowed.
I have never stayed in the US for more than 10 days at a time (most of the time honestly it was 4-5 including the days I entered & departed, 10 days was just when we went on vacation) & then I would leave for AT LEAST a week as my fianc and I took turns visiting one another every other week.
I ve never overstayed on any I-94 s but have been granted more than one within any rolling year.
Again, CBP never raised any issues with this, it was just a ok pay the $13 here s a new one .
In fact I was instructed to apply for ESTA so that I didn t need to spend so much time filling out the form for the I-94 every time I needed a new one.
I m now worried I ll be denied at my K1 Visa interview for overstaying as technically within a rolling year I did spend more than 90 day s in the US (although not consecutively).
Are they just looking at overstays for consecutive days on one visa/I-94 or days total within a rolling year?
