Re: advice on vwp rules
the original reason was.. if you had a visa stamp frome either country they would refuse entry, as thye said you had "defaced" your passport..
this got transgreced to the problems of brits travelling.. and losing passports...
to the govmt realising this is a money spinner

suzy blue, with regard to your vwp question. If you haven't done so already you might want to read this BE wiki page about the VWP

Re: advice on vwp rules
I think you might have a bit of a problem when you attempt to do the K1 if you are going to lie about where you have been living.
Part of the stuff you have to send back includes a list of all the foreign places you have visited in the last 10 years. It is clearly going to show that you have been living in the US.
You also have to be in london at some point to get a medical done and attend an interview.
You also will need a police certificate where you have to give every address you have lived in since you we're 16, and send this information off with proof of current addess and I'd that match I.e. A bank statement and drivers license. It then gets returned to the address in the uk.
All your k1 stuff after your fiancé has submitted the I-129f also goes to a uk address, how are you going to manage this?
Also even on the I-129f it asks you when you sign it, if you are in the us at the moment, how long you have been there and what visa you are on.
Do you actually own a house in london, or are you going to lie about this to on the K1?

i have not lied to us immigration...
i own a place in chelsea.... travelled the world fort 13 years as a journo..
whats wrong with this site
i have never lied at us imm...
this is all i am asking.... what to say...
i want to say the truth...
but all you people write.. 90 days in 90 days out... etc... and this is obviously not true
even immigration at major entry points dont know this,..
you are totally wrong on where i have lived...
it says what is your home address... that is a big difference...
what would you say if you had been travelling for 2 years...
and no fixed abode.... just your mums or address in UK, thats all the US ask for.. dotn twist the facts

Re: advice on vwp rules
Unfortunately even though I am an all-seeing-admin
I do not know the answers to all of life's questions. However there are many here who will be happy to help, can I just ask that perhaps you adjust your posting style though, as you will find you will get more helpful responses if you did not come across so hostile because I'm sure that's not your intention.Sue

Re: advice on vwp rules
you need to calm the f**k down woman........
And you need to view this from an American viewpoint.
Yes, to British people, we think nothing of someone just packing up their shit and travelling around for 2 years.
But to the average American, the idea of not having a home address, or residential ties to ones own country, or indeed having more than 2 weeks holiday a year is a completely alien concept.
British answers to American questions might not fly.

Re: advice on vwp rules
very very very mature manc...!!!
i have just done a search on you... and it seems that if people dont bow down to your posts within 2 replies..you reply with childish reposts, so be a man for once and reply with logic and fact... not ego and immaturity...!!!
is this a small problem manc "man" ???
or do you have other small issues.. that are better discussed on a personal page!!

Re: advice on vwp rules
What the hell?
You we're saying you were looking at the K1 l, I was giving an advice on the K1.
In you OP you said should you lie to US immigration and put your mums addess. You said it not me.
You also seem misinformed about the K1 becasue you have to put more than just your mothers addess and you do have to put everyplace you have resided and visited for the last 10 years. At the visa interview you also have to list all the places you have visited. They obviously have your passport numbers by this point to so can easily check. Those are the facts.
In regards to the travelling question, I have travelled quite a lot to but don't you think living in the US for 70-80 days and then going to Canada for a few days and repeating this for 2 years doesn't really appear to be travelling.
