US Immigration from Costa Rica

Hi Everybody,

I had a question for those of you who have experience traveling on the Visa Waiver Program with an ESTA.

A friend of the family is from a country that participates in the Visa Waiver Program, and she is planning to travel to the U.S. within the next year or so. However she is currently in a third country on what was supposed to be a short trip but due to Covid/lockdown complications she s pretty much stuck there at the moment, and facing a visa overstay in that country. She has asked me if overstaying her visa in that third country could cause her any problems if she later tries to enter the U.S. using the VWP/ESTA.

As far as I am aware it shouldn t be an issue, but I know they do ask some eligibility questions for the ESTA. Anyway, I told her I would ask on here to get some feedback from those of you who might have more direct experience. We d appreciate any insights or advice. Thanks!

I called USCIS they said they denied my application on 4/8/2021 and returned my package and check as of today I still have not received anything and i have moved i gave them updated address twice and I still have not received it. They gave me receipt number which I check status and it say Improperly Filed I asked the agent and she said don't know that my letter will tell me and I told her i have not receive it at this point im lost my husband GC will expire in a month and I don't know how to get a copy of that letter to see the reason so i can redo a package and check and send back to them.........any help?? Any suggestions please??
