I was in the USA three times this year. I am now here traveling for 90 days. Do the previous visits count in the 90 days?

I went over to the USA three times this year, for roughly five days at a time. Now I am here for the summer, to travel and enjoy vacation before I go home in September, which will be 87 days. Are the other visits included in the 90 days? If so that would make it 102 days. My country is under the visa waiver program.

The US 90-day limit is generally per visit, but there is an exception that involves making short trips from the US to "contiguous territory" or "adjacent islands" (that is, to Canada, Mexico, or the Caribbean).

Regardless, you don't have to worry about that if you're already in the US, because when you were admitted to the US, the immigration officer will have written or stamped a date in your passport that indicates when you must leave the US.

If for some reason the officer neglected to do that, you can look it up online at https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov.

(Those who are not in the US and want to plan a trip, assuming they're not in the middle of a short trip to another North American country, can count on 90 days, but should be aware that repeated longer visits with shorter periods separating them will eventually lead to greater scrutiny and possible refusal of entry.)

When can you visit the US again after 90 days?

There is no limit on the number of times you may enter the U.S. under either ESTA of a visa. However, if reentering the U.S. using ESTA soon after staying for nearly 90 days, you can expect to be questioned in detail by the immigration officer about the purpose of your visit.

What is the 90-day rule immigration?

The 90-day rule states that non-immigrant visa holders who marry U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents or apply for adjustment of status within 90 days of arriving in the U.S. are automatically presumed to have misrepresented their original nonimmigrant intentions.

What happens if you stay over 90 days in USA?

If you change your plans during your trip and plan on staying for more than 90 days, you cannot obtain the needed Visa while in the USA. You will have to return home and only then can you apply for the Visa and travel back to the USA.

Can you stay in the US for more than 90 days in a year?

If you want to stay longer in America, you must apply for the appropriate USA visa. For travelers looking to stay in the United States for this period of time, it is easy to interpret the 90 days as approximately 3 months; this causes some people to book the return flight exactly 3 months after the outbound flight.
