American Visas

[B.M.F]

Hi my all knowledgeable fellow NSCer's. I have a bit of a question for you lovely people.
I am going to the states in May for a couple of weeks and I know I do not need a visa as it is less than 3 months and my passport is electronic readable so that is fine. My problem is that I may go back in june but do not know how long between visits you have to wait or is it a case of just leaving the country then you can go back for a further 3 months? Also can you obtain and how hard is it to get a working visa for the states?

Sorry for the questions but my girlfriend is not alolowed to take her daughter out of the country due to a custody battle so I will need to travel there more than she can here.

Many thanks to you all for any help you can give me

Each time you travel to the US on the VWP you can stay up the three months. You can do this as many times a year as you like. However if you get caught working you will never again be able to enter the country under the VWP...

You can't go in under the VWP if you've ever been arrested. For ANYTHING.

im currently living in America after attending uni here and i know the hassle of Visas and stuff.
You can enter the US as many times as you like on your passport. Working Visas are very very tough to get..........if your company is willing to relocate you, they have to prove that you can perform/offer a service which an American couldnt.

Worst comes to worst.........get married get a green card...........i have 7 months left on my visa and im headhunting!

Do you know how long you have to leave for after the 3 months before you can go back? I could not get a work visa as I am a business anayst and there are plenty of them in the states . Marriage may be the only way to stay all the time. Can I work as soon as I get married or do I need to get other types of visa first?

Cheers for all your help mate

Not sure about a time period inbetween, i remember something on the visa forms about if you stay X days you cannot reenter for X days....but im not entirely sure about that.
Did you ask your business/company about relocation?

Might sound funky but there is such a thing as a "Engagement Visa" whereby you can live and work in the us for a period of time (about 3 months i think) hassle free..........however you have to get married by the end of it.

Whatever you do, if you decide to get married out here, dont leave the country, thats when you get fcuked. A mate of mine married his g/f after being with here for 3 years, went home to renew his visa and was told he wasnt allowed one as he was married. Had to wait 18 months to get a green card because he left the country.

Another of my friends has just got married and his visa expired in jan, his lawyer (thoroughly advise you see one out there) said stay in the country and keep working until someone says something or your green card comes.

Hope this helps

you have the perfect user name mate as your answers have been tip top bud. I was going to get married in Italy or Australia if things work out but will have to change those plans now and wait for a grren card and also look at the engagement visa thing as well. Got to wait until she is divorced first though
I can not ask work at the moment as I have been off with depression for the last 5 months

 

[Tiptop24]

stick with it bud.
It can be long and very fustrating.......ive been dating me g/f for 3.5 yrs now........i graduated in dec and ive been looking for a job thatll be willing to sponsor me......makes it very tough to get anything, but with a green card the world would open up. Something i have to seriously consider! But like i said, once your here, stay, they wont deport you, but if you leave they can deny you entry. My mate had to stay in England for 18 months, and his missus visited 6 times a year...........some might say its the perfect wedding!

What part of US you looking at? i might be able to help out........i know a lot of people willing to employ people who are legal!
