Since you ask, I think you're an idiot. I think your hormones are getting the best of you. I think you're too young to get married. I think you're setting yourself up for some serious shit with the US government. You probably don't want to know what else I'm thinking.

My old UK company had people "observing" on the VWP in Florida for a couple of months.

Even if there is no paper trail...he's admitted to working in his first post on a public forum.

If you 'love' the girl why is the weirdest thing of your life?

Look, you have had a wonderful summer, continue to enjoy yourself, get to know your friend.
Go home in Sept, stay in touch with each other, and something might develop. I'd wager that four months ago, you barely thought about living in the US (and I've done some research, so yes I do know what I'm talking about, The internet is a wonderful and horrible thing).

Work hard, save up your money, and come back for another visit. Maybe something will come of it.
Sheesh, if I stayed every place I traveled to and had a good ti... oh, wait. :D

If you leave on time, you can come back. If you overstay, you can't come back. What if (and yes, this has happened), on Day 102, you two have a huge fight and it's all over between you. Then what?
Just go home on time.

Which indicates to me, you're in love with the *idea* of it all, not with an individual. I'm sure your feelings are sincere... would you be happy if she moved to the UK with you? That might be a gut-check for you to think on.

You've learned something and we've learned something. It hasn't been a waste at all. :)

Five pages and no allusions to hairdressing and a certain orientation? And by that, I'm mean North-South.

Remember, Bashy, there are no stupid questions.

Good for you. It's best to keep on the right side of the law...you don't know when it may come back to bite you later in life.

Good luck.

Ok so basically, I know its a no go of staying here but to be honest I do love the place. I have just heard off my friend I can get a tourist visa of some sort. So Say I go back home on a return flight for two weeks could I apply for one there and return back here? Sorry guys its just I want to be here and If I can be here for a year which was my original plan (not knowin the waiver programme was shit) could that be possible? And maybe apply for a student visa out here while im on a tourist visa? Again sorry its just I like it here too much

Now you're taking the piss. Please go back and re-read the advice that has been given. It is complete.

Your statements make no sense. You say you want to spend a lot of time here....then plan to do stuff that is likely to end up with you unable to visit or live here again. It's self-sabotage!

The "tourist visa" is the same as the B-2 visitor visa. Go back and read what has already been said about this.



Again sorry its just I like it here too much
I'm sorry also... no matter how much you like it here - it's irrelevant to your legal choices.

Forget the B2 Visa, it is not going to happen.

Get a job in the UK and come over for your Hols.

Can I go home and get a better visa and come back out here thats all Im asking because If so Il get a return flight sort the visa out in england and come back here and start again only that Il be on a better visa then a shitty waiver programme.

meauxna Jul 21st 2010 12:58 pm

Re: Help me please!!
 
Why do you keep saying a 'return flight'? You already have a ticket back to the UK, right?
I don't think you have been paying attention, and you don't have any experience of getting a visa. You don't just 'go get one'; it takes a while to apply.

Please knock it with the language, also. We try to maintain some air of politeness here, even when it's a struggle.

What's the purpose of your return visit? (IE, what visa will you apply for?)
