ESTA visit more than 90 days but with a 30 day stay in mexico
I already have an ESTA from last year which is legal till July 2020. I was there 80 days in 2018 and wish to go Mexico for a month then return to the USA by car before heading to Asia after another month or two. Will this work with VWP or do I need a B2 or another type of visa for this?
(I have proof of income from Europe for the duration of my stay and have been in the US on a esta vwp last 3 years) Also wondering if I as a Norwegian citizen need to get my visa at the US embassy in Norway or can I get such a visa in any European embassy? (asking because to get Russian visa i had to go to the embassy in Norway)
thanks for any help guys :)

VWP travelers should be able to demonstrate that they are a legitimate visitor to the United States and will comply with the terms of their admission. While there is no explicit limit on how long VWP travelers should remain outside the U.S. before returning, please realize that travelers who are spending significant periods of their time in the United States may have difficulty demonstrating that they are legitimate visitors. This office cannot discuss or provide further advice on specific admission/inspection issues because in the same way that a valid visa does not guarantee admission to the United States, an approved ESTA is not a guarantee of admission to the United States. The admission of all visitors to the United States is determined by the Customs and Border Protection Officers at the port of entry/border. If you have additional concerns and would like further clarity on your admissibility to the United States, you should consider applying for a visa at the nearest US Embassy or Consulate.
