How soon can I travel back on ESTA after a 2 and a half month stay? [duplicate]
Ok so I went to USA end of september and came back a few days ago. I had originally booked 3 weeks but extended my trip whilst I was there. I am planning to return in February, exactly 2 months after coming back to the UK. I want to stay for just under the 90 days. I have no real ties to the UK that can be proved unless anyone can help me with things I could use. Family here apparently does not count. What are my chances of being sent back? I know its hard to answer that but I am getting more and more worried now.
Will this be ok? I know it says you can have as many visits as you like under the visa waiver program but it also says a reasonable length of time between visits. would two months be reasonable? I do not work I claim benefits in the UK so I would not be able to stay much longer than I plan to in the US. I can prove I have enough money to stay in the US without working. I would be staying with a friend. Would I be better off booking a shorter return trip of a couple of weeks and then paying to change my departure or because I did this before would that be a red flag? I just want some reassurance or advice really. Anybody else have experience with this?
