Jan 16, 2020 at 22:34 comment added Golden Cuy @ApologizeandreinstateMonica Strawberry's comment was presumably a joke - DC is where the capital of the US is. Bad things happen there.

Jan 15, 2020 at 19:26 comment added RonJohn @PatrickT two unsourced statements in the ESTA Wikipedia page say that ESTA VWP holders still can be rejected by CBP upon entry. One is, "Authorization via ESTA does not determine whether a traveler is admissible to the United States. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers determine admissibility upon travelers’ arrival. The ESTA application collects biographic information and answers to VWP eligibility questions."

Jan 15, 2020 at 13:46 comment added RonJohn @PatrickT don't all non-citizens (and green card holders?) entering the US have to -- in some way -- convince the CBP that they're entering for their stated purpose, not a threat, etc?
Jan 14, 2020 at 23:20 comment added RonJohn @PatrickT but just that: explaining. Nothing about not allowing you in the US.
Jan 14, 2020 at 23:17 comment added RonJohn @Strawberry #1 we can't read your mind. #2 OP is almost certainly not a native English speaker, and so doesn't get your joke. IOW, you stop thinking everyone is a Westerner.
Jan 14, 2020 at 20:30 comment added PatrickT Say you have a British passport, visit Columbia, then one year later the United States: you're good. Say you have an Afghan passport, visit Columbia and immediately go to the United States: if you attended an academic conference in Columbia, you're good; if your purpose was "tourism", well you've just been flagged. You'll have some explaining to do. Not all passports are created equal.
Jan 14, 2020 at 17:15 comment added user428517 @Strawberry What? Why would visiting DC hurt someone's travel history? And DC isn't even a country...

Jan 14, 2020 at 13:25 comment added DumbCoder Only chance is when you are returning you might go through additional check because of narcotics. Other than that enjoy your time in Colombia.
Jan 14, 2020 at 12:13 comment added Strawberry Perhaps they're thinking of District of Columbia.
