Do I need to inform anyone that I plan to stay on after my week's holiday to America?
I booked a week's holiday to America to see my boyfriend, but we have since decided that if my visit goes well we would like me to miss my flight home and stay for a couple of months. (Ensuring to return to my home country within the 90 day ESTA limit).
As long as I return within the 90-day limit allowed, will I encounter any problems doing it this way?
Do I need to inform anyone that my stay will be longer than originally planned?
Best Answer
Unless you have a stamp like this (provided by Photographers Direct):
Which has a date by which you have to leave the country and it's within 1 week of the date of your entry, you are allowed to remain in the country for the full 90 days that are permitted for you by the US Visa Waiver Program. So if you're planning to leave within 90 days it should not be an issue without having to notify anyone.
