No.

That all sounds right to me.

You need to put things into perspective. For every "interrogation" you've read about, there are hundreds of thousands of people who don't have a problem. You are focussing on the very smallest percentage of travellers.

I agree with Rene's last post. It's important for you to remember: you are not doing anything wrong! You don't have to sneak into the US or anything like it.. if the officer asks if you are married to a US citizen, the answer is yes. At that point, I might even break my own rule and say I am waiting for my immigrant visa but need a little face-time with my spouse. 18 days is a perfectly reasonable visit and the reason people get 'interrogated' in the back room is usually more related to their past history of visiting (how often and for how long).
You can hold your head high when you arrive; you are not doing anything wrong.

If your questions relate to this same topic - your VWP entry - post them here. If you have a new topic, please create a new thread.

Rene,

What if i was married and i didn't apply for any type of visa, then i flew to the states???

Would this cause any problems?

Flew to the US for what purpose?
Problems for what?

It's another question regarding my POST -

Hi guys,

I'm currently married to a US citizen. My wife has submitted the K-3 visa application just over two months ago and currently waiting.

We got married in MAY 2008 in Cali. I live in the UK.

I'm planning a trip to see her in November for two weeks and I want to know if I can travel on the VWP program?

Can anyone give me any ideas if this will cause any problems?

Thanks

What if i was married and i didn't apply for any type of visa, then i flew to the states???

What kind of problems would this have caused? Just curious...

Don't worry too much. Most of the time they don't ask you anything. A few weeks ago I travelled to the US under the VWP with my wife (who is a US citizen). The officer saw us together and had no questions apart from "how long are you staying?". I had more questions from her UK colleague on the way back.

Noorah101

Yes, you can.

I think we answered this before...it shouldn't cause any problems other than those of a normal VWP traveler. Bring proof of your ties to the UK.

What do you mean? You just described the VWP entry, which is the same thing you asked about above. We've answered before about how being married might affect your travel on the VWP (i.e, no visa). Just enter as a normal VWP person.

See the answer above. Traveling on the VWP (i.e., no visa), does not cause problems in and of itself. Tons of people do it all the time.

My fiancee traveled to the states to see me while his K1 visa was being processed. He brought proof of ties to the UK but they never mentioned the isa. He just said he wasover on Holiday. He visisted me a few time with no problems. I was worried as well but I think you'll be fine. No need to mention anything extra!

This is correct. I did get stopped and taken downstairs for a chat with a sinister young lady about my intentions, but I was not married to an American at the time. I had, however, visited twice already that year, for more than a couple of weeks each time. She asked me about my occupation, how I could afford to visit so often, why I was visiting (vacation), etc etc.

As long as you are not breaking any rules (you are not), have not over stayed and have a return ticket, then they will let you in. Just be truthful, only answer what they ask and don't show a bad attitude. You will be fine.

gstring

I'm sorry to disagree with you.

Not breaking rules. Having a return ticket. Being truthful. Answering honestly and having a good attitude does not gain you entry in to the USA.
