Hi All
Just found this great site, first post.
My wife and I are here on vacation from the UK to escape our rubbish winter (cold and wet). We are in a rented Class C 28 footer. All very nice, going great so far. Currently sat writing this in the sunshine in Palm Springs. 🙂
We are here on the usual 90 day visa waiver program entry. But we would dearly love to be able to stay longer, as long as possible really, without becoming a permanent resident. We would happily up-sticks and live here but i doubt the U.S. government would be as happy about it as us!
So I wondered if anybody here on the forums has any experience or knowledge of how we might go about getting visas to stay longer. B2 I think is the tourist visa we would need. But it is all very vague on the immigration web site. There is no indication of how long a B2 would actually give you, how long it lasts or what they would be looking for to go ahead and issue one.
Other points are things like going out of the U.S. (say to Canada or Mexico, both of which give UK citizens a 6 month stay by default) and then returning to the US.
Thanks in advance
Happy Holiday
Mark
