What visa do I apply for to visit my husband in the United States?
Earlier this year I went to the States on an ESTA and married my partner who is American. I returned home soon after. Now I want to go back to spend Christmas with my partner. Can I re-enter on the same ESTA or do I have to apply for a different visa?
I read online that if you get married you cannot use the same visa. I just want to visit; I have no intentions of trying to stay in the States for longer than a month.
Best Answer
As long as you are staying under 90 days you will be fine with an ESTA although you will get scrutinised more at the border than your average traveller. Make sure you can prove your ties back to your home country so the officer is confident you are not trying to stay in the United States. Just tell the truth, if you have nothing to hide you should be fine.
