ESTA Question / Advice!
Hey all
A quick question I’d love some advice with, just a bit nervous at the moment with the climate.
I’ve got an ESTA visa, last year April - May I did a couple weeks in the states on a road trip.
Later on in the year I met and fell hard from an American girl, I came to visit her for 12 days over Christmas period.
I’m now back in America before I move to Canada on an IEC visa, I flew in on the 24th March. I was planning on hanging around for a month doing a bit of travelling and staying with my girl but I’ve been given an alright opportunity to move to Canada early ( 13th April ) but I have plans to be back in America for a concert and a friends birthday (28th April - 1st of May). When I crossed the border I told the officer I was planning on staying for a month and got hit with a fair few questions, I was quite open ended about our plans and only referred to staying with friends at the time.
My question more or less is, do I need to worry as much about the time in / time out of the states if I’m well below the 90 day ESTA period? Would I be better off to stay in the states until May 1st and then leave? If my plans changed from what I told the officer am I going to run into troubles on that potential second entry?
Might be overthinking this all but there’s so much grey area info out there and I’d hate to lose my ESTA now that I plan on living much closer to my girl (NZ > Canada)
Have all tickets for the concert and will have all flights and that sorted. Would just love some reassurance or a wake up call if necessary.
Thanks
