visa expiration date?

[yourwelcome 0]

Basically, I applied for my visa waiver on the 5th December 2011, it says I have til 5th Dec. 2013 until it expires.

Since I applied I have been to the US twice, both times were just under a week..

but on July 7th I want to go and stay with my boyfriend in his place for the summer, until September 29th to be exact.

The question is, each time u enter does the 90 day limit clock reset itself, or do I need to re-apply for a new visa seeing as i've been there like 11 days already since applying.

Also, since then I recieved an approved i130 petition but due to current circumstances can't go ahead with processing it due to my US citizen father choosing to have his main domicile here in the UK. Does this change anything and should I say on the ESTA that I have applied for a visa? ( even though I only sent in the initial i-130 form, got approved but nothing mores been done )

THANKYOU! HAVE A NICE DAY

You haven't applied for a visa. A petition has been submitted by a US citizen on your behalf. If approved you could apply for a visa.

It is up to the CBP officer as to how long you are admitted. 90 days is customary.

In your case your 90 day clock would reset when u enter in July, but if you are asked anywhere if u have immigrant intent than you should completely disclose that you have i-130 in process.

You don't need to apply for new ESTA, you can use your existing ESTA.

Okay thanks, so does that mean that if asked wether i have applied for a visa previously i wouldn't say yes, i'd say no?

I just dont want to do it incorrectly or anything that might affect my entry because my flights VERY costly lol

You could say no if they asked if you have applied for a visa, but they probably won't ask it in that way. They would know that from their records. They may ask if you have a petition pending on your behalf, in which case you would answer yes. If they ask you whether you intend to immigrate to the U.S., and you can honestly say "Not on this trip, only after I obtain a CR-1 visa", you should do that.

Bring proof of ties to your home country. If I were CBP, I would ask you what you did at home and how you could be away for so long. If you have a job or school lined up for the Fall, bring proof. Also, bring proof of an apartment/house, car, family, etc.

There's still a chance you could still be denied entry. They

:S Would they consider denying entry without any legitimate reason? I have a part time job to go back to, but college will be over and im not going to uni this next year. I'm only 18 you see, and i have sufficient money, like 5k in dollars..and never had problems with them before, i always tell them im there to visijt my bf when i go

The reason they would cite is that you haven't proven that you intend to go home. I thought your petition was based on marriage which is why I mentioned CR-1, but now I see you want to immigrate based on your U.S. citizen father. That would actually be the IR-2 visa, so my mistake.

By the way, you only qualify for an IR-2 until you turn 21. After that, you will have to take a place in line and wait for an F1 visa. Currently, people in the F1 category whose petitions were approved in 2005 are able to get visas, so if you wait till you're 21 you could be in for a much longer wait.
