Hi,
I am a UK citizen, and have been a regular traveller to the US under the Visa Waiver Programme (5 visits since Sep '09, for durations of 2 to 4 weeks, to stay with my girlfriend). I was advised on my last entry to the US (Jan '10) that I should make an appointment with the US Embassy in London on my return. This I did, and completed a B2 visa request. It was declined.
With hindsight, I acknowledge I was spending more time in the US than the UK (so, a part-time resident), but was unaware of this restriction. I always stayed at the same address, was able to fund myself, and had adequate travel insurance.
If I were to travel to the US again in May, under the VWP (I also still hold a valid ESTA), for a 2 week stay, would the fact I was declined a B2 visa in any way lead to an entry refusal at Immigration?
Thanks.
