VWP status for stays longer than 90 days in Mexico
If I want to go to Mexico for 30 days, then move on to the USA, would my VWP days be 90, or 60 (-30 days for the time spent in the "connected country")? I imagine its 90 days because they should start counting from ingress to the USA?
I understand that my 90 days are not reset if I don't leave to Canada or Mexico, but I'm confused about the other way. Imagine I went from Colombia => Mexico => USA, would that basically optimize my available time in the USA?
