I-94W Visa Waiver Expiry Date
Good morning all,
I am currently visiting my fiancee in the US via the I-94W and am fully aware of the 90 day rule. However the date stamped on my green form attached to my passport does not coincide with this 90 days. I entered the US on 13th Dec 2008 as indicated via the admission stamp and there is also another stamp on there stating the 31st March 2009. Is this the date I need to leave or should I calculate 90 days from entry?
just thought i'd ask people who were more experienced with this type of thing?
Thanks,
Sean.

Re: I-94W Visa Waiver Expiry Date
The POE official will have your entry date recorded even if he/she stamped incorrectly - it's 90 days from the entry date. And in the computer.
Don't push it or anything to the limit with immigration officials. You'll want to get back to see your fiancee sometime, I suspect....
And why does one need 90 days in the US? Can't be a vacation - we only get 2 weeks here.... I suspect something more!

This is another of those situations where you are meant to be responsible for yourself following the rules and staying in status.
You should leave well before the 90 day deadline, especially if you plan on returning on the VWP.

Re: I-94W Visa Waiver Expiry Date
ok i did kind of expect that answer but just wondered as I was not sure.
as for "suspecting something" yes i have the means to be here for up to 90 days... she is my fiancee and I want to spend as much time as I can?? not really sure what is wrong with that! as for future decisions on what to do I guess we are kind of discussing that now...
anyway thank you for your input I appreciate it very much

Re: I-94W Visa Waiver Expiry Date
well actually I did read the terms on the back of this form and it does not state anything about this braking the terms.. in fact it does not state anything about a return flight.
it states being able to stay for up to 90 days and also up to the date stamped hence I have asked the original question

Re: I-94W Visa Waiver Expiry Date

Re: I-94W Visa Waiver Expiry Date
well yes I did not see any reason why I couldnt stay within this period since I have the means to pay for a flight back...
