Re: Football / B2 Visa - Back again after two years!

Sorry I wasn't clear, you misunderstood what I meant.

I meant what are the border officials biggest concerns when somebody wants to use the VWP consecutively i.e stay for 90 days, return home for...

Yep, thanks. That does seem reasonable however I mentioned returning for a short break in the UK a few days close to the 90 day limit in case I don't get allowed back in and the disappointment will...

Re: Football / B2 Visa - Back again after two years!

Thanks. Just looking for some opinions to edge my decision either way. I mean it's not like I can go for the B2 and if it's denied then go on the VWP, it seems like I'm walking a tight rope and I...

Re: Football / B2 Visa - Back again after two years!

I know this threads gone off topic slightly but I'm having a real hard time trying to juggle the process of VWP or B2, simply because of the fact that I could get rejected for the B2 and won't be...

Re: Football / B2 Visa - Back again after two years!

Checked the expenses thing in the past. Things like training kit which is returned, drinks during training etc, transport to games aren't considered work or being compensated for work.

Re: Football / B2 Visa - Back again after two years!

So I am intending to go the US for the same reasons in 2011. Officially as an amateur athlete playing in the USL Premier Development League. To clarify, in 2011 I was rejected for a B2 however I made...

Re: Dad/Visa/Previous convictions

Since I found the above, course of action is going to be apply for ESTA today, wait to see if it gets approved. If it does then great. If it doesn't which is unlikely then he'll have to go for the...

Re: Dad/Visa/Previous convictions

Re: Dad/Visa/Previous convictions

Sorry to be a pain. We just spoke to a US based immigration lawyer who stated in a few minutes: 1981, not moral turpitude, no further convictions and in good standing. VWP/ESTA will be no problem...

Re: Dad/Visa/Previous convictions

Re: Dad/Visa/Previous convictions

Yeah I told him that when I got home.

So he can't just call up and say he was informed incorrectly and cancel the appointment? He actually hasn't committed to booking a certain visa or given them...

Re: Dad/Visa/Previous convictions

The second offence was a non reportable offence i.e it's on the CRB but don't know whether it will be logged on the ACPO. It appears it was just a stop, on the spot fine sort of offence. I knew he...
