i just re checked our correspondence. our attorney strongly suggested we didnt travel on the VWP once our application was submitted 'just in case' the POE officer detemined we were trying to get a head start.

the usual advice here is listen to your attorney- so we did

We got told we couldn't be in the US the day our application was filed. No idea if this is true or not, but the lawyers were pretty adament on it.

I travelled with no problems at all - at least twice. My lawyer didn't tell me anything of the sort so it never occurred to me....but I guess the only sure fire way of something not being a problem is not doing it!

Well... y'all can do whatever you want, but there are NO travel restrictions in place while a visa is being processed. If you don't want to travel, that's fine... but know that it's not because you can't or shouldn't.

Fair enough. It's always good to listen from different sources and make the decision yourself at the end.

I'm really sorry - I don't remember - it was for meetings, it was 3 years ago now. Lots of people go over in advance to check out housing etc as well.

As Ian says - there are no restrictions on travel on the VWP while visa application in is in process
