Refused Entry in 1998- Atlanta
Hi Expats..
In 1998 I travelled to the US and stayed for 2 months on the VWP. I returned to the UK for 1 week, and decided to return to the US, on a B2 Tourist Visa. At POE I was questioned and told they had reasons to believe I was intending to stay. Can anyone advise, as I would like to go on holiday there and do I qualify for the VWP as at the time was told, I would have to wait 5 years before applying for another visa. and also I am thinking of becoming a student nurse, what procedure is it for being a student? and would like to qualify in the US, followed by getting a job there. Whats my options..........Many Thanks in advance. |

Legit, he comes and goes a lot, much more than I thought you could! Times have changed. |

I had met someone there at the time and wanted to stay there longer than the VWP would allow. I had funds etc , but unfortunately stopped at POE. I am from the UK and do currently work for the NHS here , so nursing is certainly a viable option, to train here first.
Many Thanks for the advice, appreciated. |
