Withdrew AOS now want to visit US

[ronun852 0]

Hi all hope you can help me.

Since my last post I withdrew my AOS application weeks from my green card interview after my marriage went sour. So I withdrew and left the country. I was originally on a B2 visa so I could travel for 6 months at a time. I left the US within 6 months of being in AOS. I was advised by an immigration lawyer to try and not return for at least a year. I want to visit the US this May that will be 1 year and 2 month being out of the country. Now I would like to go to the US Embassy here in London, UK to see if everything would be ok, however they only seem to do visits for visa applications. I will try there help desk number on monday but I was wondering if anyone had any idea if there would be any problems flying over. That is of course if I will be able to on a ESTA.

Many thanks

Have you filled out ESTA yet?

The fact you tried to adjust status on a tourist visa (even unfinished) is not ideal for non-immigrant visas anymore.

Why did you have a B2?

Try and apply for ESTA and see if you're approved. If you are you'll need to apply for a tourist visa as you did before. The same restrictions and conditions apply. If you haven't overstayed in the past there shouldn't be a problem, provided you meet all the necessary criteria.

I had a B2 Visa so I could travel the country for more than 3 months at a time. I havent yet tried for a ESTA yet. my last one expired a few years ago. If its approved why would I need a visa? when I have the visa waiver program .

I meant to say 'If you're NOT approved...' sorry!

I see no reason why you should not get the approval. Go ahead and try the ESTA...go luck.

Thanks for that S_R . I was going to wait and speak to the embassy helpline to see what they have to say on the matter. Mind you ESTA will only cost me around £20. so not much loss if its a no.
