Re: Why you cannot come to the USA !
oo, oo, thought of another reason...you cannot come to the USA just because you've bought a holiday home here 
(well you can, but only for 90 days at a time!)

Another one that I think people have missed:
Just because English is your native language doesn't mean you can immigrate here.

How about... you cannot live in the USA just because you came over on the VWP / J1 / B1 / met someone and/or got married, and now youre in the country and they probably wont notice / wont find you.....
they WILL find you.......
they WILL find you.......

You cannot come here if you want to open a company in the USA selling stuff (brought from yard sales) on Ebay !

Because there are exceptions to the rules!
Lack of intent is the key here.

The reason you didn't get that visa wasn't because you didn't shout loud enough at the official....

You can not come to the USA just because you bought a ticket. If you turn up at the airport (etc) you may be turned away, even if you do have a Visa, a Visa Waiver or all the right docs in place.

You can't come to the US based on being married to an American who is of the same sex as yourself

Actually, there are ways of overstaying on the VWP and then legalizing your status. It's a long, hard route, and involves spending a lot of time in the US without being allowed to leave, but it can be done.
