Both times she was readmitted without any trouble for another 90 days. Why Costa Rica? Because it was the closest country which is just far enough to trigger the VWP reset YMMV ... | |

| Apr 27, 2016 at 18:05 | comment | added | phoog | Ellen: while the linked duplicate implies that you need to spend 91 days out of the country after spending 90 days in it, do note that this is a "rule of thumb." You stand a (probably small) chance of being allowed in for a second stay if you have a very good reason for your additional visit and strong evidence supporting a conclusion that you won't stay any longer than two or three weeks. On the other hand, it's probably more likely that you'd be denied entry. A safer course of action in your case would be to leave the US and apply for a B-2 visa, which allows longer visits than does the VWP. | |
