    Exclamation Can I Enter for a Week and Return for 3 Months

    Hi

    I am en English national living in France with a French girlfriend. My girlfriend is on an educational visa and staying in Boston to go to college for the year. I thought I would visit her there for the time allowed on the VWP, and we would rent an apartment together.

    First though, I would like to visit her for a week, just so see what things are like there.
    Then, a week after returning, I would like to return to the US for 3 months to rent an apartment and accompany my girlfriend. I don't want to stay for over 90 days, but I'm wondering whether this would be a problem.

    Is asking to enter for 90 days likely to get me refused because its the maximum?
    Is it ok if I go for a week and then ask to go back for 90 days?

    NB: The last time I was in the US was in June to September on a J1 visa. I was sent into secondary inspection for having stayed OUTside of the US for 3 months (visiting my family in France) during my visa.

    THANK YOU for your replies!!

    When you're asked about your plans, what do you intend to say? If you tell the immigration officer that you want to stay in the U.S. for 90 days during which time you intend to live with your girlfriend in a new apartment you are renting together, I expect the IO will be skeptical that you intend to return home at the end of the visit.

    I do not believe you can rent an apartment with a visitors visa. I may be wrong. Also, you will find it difficult to obtain a 3 month lease.
