It's all yours! Make sure you continue to live up to it.

Re: Why you cannot come to the USA !
 

oo, oo, thought of another reason...you cannot come to the USA just because you've bought a holiday home here :)

(well you can, but only for 90 days at a time!)

Another one that I think people have missed:

Just because English is your native language doesn't mean you can immigrate here.

because it might ruin your life...

Put those rose-tinted glasses back on now!:frown:

Re: Why you cannot come to the USA !
 

How about... you cannot live in the USA just because you came over on the VWP / J1 / B1 / met someone and/or got married, and now youre in the country and they probably wont notice / wont find you.....
they WILL find you.......

In fact, it could hurt you. Better sometimes to play dumb and speak another language :eek:

You cannot come here if you want to open a company in the USA selling stuff (brought from yard sales) on Ebay !

Re: Why you cannot come to the USA !
 

How about no.

Because there are exceptions to the rules!

Lack of intent is the key here.

Re: Why you cannot come to the USA !
 

The reason you didn't get that visa wasn't because you didn't shout loud enough at the official....

Re: Why you cannot come to the USA !
 

You can not come to the USA just because you bought a ticket. If you turn up at the airport (etc) you may be turned away, even if you do have a Visa, a Visa Waiver or all the right docs in place.

Re: Why you cannot come to the USA !
 

You can't come to the US based on being married to an American who is of the same sex as yourself

Re: Why you cannot come to the USA !
 

Actually, there are ways of overstaying on the VWP and then legalizing your status. It's a long, hard route, and involves spending a lot of time in the US without being allowed to leave, but it can be done.
