Re: I-94W Visa Waiver Expiry Date
yes I did...I just had the opportunity to stay longer so I decided to stay
like I said I have no intention of breaking any rules.. and if I have it was done unknowingly even after reading up on this
the reason i I asked this original question is because the terms are a little unclear or there is a mistake on the expiry date stamped on my form.. I merely tried to clear this up as I could have easily got in trouble for staying longer than the 90 days by just using this date

If arriving by air or sea, they are traveling on an approved carrier (See the approved carriers list) and have a return trip ticket to any foreign destination;
They can demonstrate the intent to stay 90 days or less in the United States and demonstrate sufficient funds to support themselves while in the United States

Re: I-94W Visa Waiver Expiry Date
ok... i've just phoned the US border and customs...
you are correct I do have 90 days and therefore the stamp is incorrect.. and I asked about whether I have broken any rules by extending my stay..
providing I have booked a further return flight within this period there are no issues.. so technically yes I did violate the waiver conditions by 13 days.. putting that right now!
in fact he even suggested I went over to canada and just got a new one!! this is not something I am going to do and also surprised me since I have read on term saying this was not possible.. anyway just thought id mention it

In what way do you think you have violated the waiver conditions by 13 days?
The Canada idea was typical misinformation. A trip to Canada will NOT reset your 90 day clock and 'get you a new one (I-94W)'. If you need the links that state this, let me know or go looking at the VWP info from the link Ray provided.

Re: I-94W Visa Waiver Expiry Date
apologies for not being quite clear...
to put it bluntly I simply did not return on my original planned flight. Neither was it transferable or able to cancel. this was due 13 days ago and therefore technically I have had no return flight booked during this period. Partly due because I was not entirely sure when I was going to leave. Obviously this would be within my allowed stay period though...

Can you see that we think this is very important? Especially as you've got longer term aspirations. Do NOT overstay and leave the Western Hemisphere.

Re: I-94W Visa Waiver Expiry Date
If you have questions on the immigration forms (to the USA), it's better to ask over in the US Marriage-Based section of the site.
For going the other way, US to UK, look over here: http://www.uk-yankee.com/
