Flying to Canada to come back to US on a C1/D visa
I will be in the US on the Visa Waiver Program, and then fly to Toronto in order to come back in on a C1/D visa. Is there an amount of time that I need to be out of the country before I can come back in on a different visa? e.g. 24 hours?
Best Answer
No, there is no amount of time you have to be out of the US before re-entering. You can go directly from your arriving aircraft to US preclearance if you wish (and you have booked a flight).
Though it's not clear why you want to do this at all. If you're traveling to or from an aircraft or ship in conjunction with your crewmember visa, you could just go directly there (if the ship departs before the end of your existing admission).

1. Re: If you have a c1d visa do you need a visa waiver (ESTA)? ESTA is for those who travel to the USA under the Visa Waiver Program, so those who do not need/have visas. Those with Visas do not require ESTA.10 Reasons Your US Visa May be Denied
