Re: B2 Visa and ESTA denied

I would say say that the response to your two questions likely would be yes and yes.
I suggest that you wait at the very least six months and preferably a bit longer before you try the ESTA once...

Re: B2 Visa and ESTA denied

OneLife,

You made the mistake of applying for ESTA within a mere month of your denied visa application.
You should have waited at the very least some six months before making the ESTA application...

Ragnox,

Sorry, but you just cannot make a generalized comment such as that.
You quite obviously have been quite lucky this far as far as your dealings with US Immigration is concerned. Good for...

Re: B2 Denied VWP approved (surprisingly) but now..?

Summer1,

Congratulations are in order, I believe!
I would only like to add that IMHO it is fairly likely that you may well have a harder time at the POE the sooner you try to visit the US.

Re: Visa Waiver help

The advice for the OP would basically be to wait at the very least 6 months and preferably longer before applying for ESTA.
I waited a full year+ and was then ESTA approved after a previous B2 visa...

Re: Can I use the VWP twice a year?

Steve,
I get your point and you´re right, up to a point.
I believe, however, that you´re simplifying the complexities of the whole issue way too much.
It very clearly matters what a person´s...

Re: Can I use the VWP twice a year?

ALJ20,

This is purely my personal take on your story, but it would seem to me that you´re visiting the US for too long at a time with not enough time in the UK in between.
It´s pretty obvious...

Re: VWP entry to marry girlfriend - at POE

rich 123,
I wish you the best of luck, but wouldn´t it have been easier for you to have got married in your home country in, I presume, Europe (UK or Ireland?)?

Re: advice needed - denied b2 visa twice, wanting to go on holiday

Jessecannon,

I wish you all the best in your endeavours, but I fear that you most likely won´t be successful with a renewed visa application.
You risk being seen as perhaps too eager to get to...

Re: Bimba123's questions on denied B-2 and ESTA

I shall be very blunt here:

You have absolutely no option but to update your ESTA application after the refusal of your B2 visa application if you wish to travel legally to the United...

Re: ESTA advice!!

I can testify that a denied visa application does not necessarily equate a denied ESTA application.
My application for a B2 visa was denied in October 2009. I waited until the autumn of 2010 before...

Re: VWP or B1/2?

I absolutely agree with tonrob and others here.
The travel pattern of the OP and her husband is likely to be increasingly viewed as "suspect" by the CBP agents.

Re: re-applying for a non esta visitor's visa after being denied

I´m afraid your girlfriend re-applied for the ESTA way too soon after having been denied the B2 visa in London.
I was myself denied a B2 visa at one point and waited for another year until...

Unfortunately, I don´t think it would be possible to guess what might happen at the US POE, as the individual CBP officer has such a wide latitude to make his/her own decision. To some extent it...

To some extent, it really is a matter of pot luck whether you get admitted or not and whether you´ll be sailing through immigration or being sent to a secondary "grilling".

It would seem to me that you are in a state of denial regarding the legal consequences of your overstay of 2 years.

Paul,

Regrettably, B1/B2 visas are generally extremely difficult to get, unless you are of retirement age.
I wish you the very best of luck, but frankly speaking it´s extremely unlikely that you...

Re: Visiting girlfriend in USA - passport flagged, opinions please

Hello there,

May I perhaps suggest that you opt to visit your girlfriend for rather less than 60 days/2 months.
3-4 weeks would probably go down a lot better at the POE, considering that most...
