Hi everyone,

I'm currently living in the UK on my 2 years Graduate visa and I'm planning to apply for a USA visit visa. However, I have no intention of returning to the UK once my visit is over. Can anyone provide advice on the best way to approach this situation? What are the potential risks and legal implications I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance for your help!

It’s important to approach this situation with a clear understanding of immigration laws and the potential risks involved. Here’s an overview:

1. Applying for the USA Visit Visa
Intent: When applying for a USA visitor visa (B-2), you must demonstrate that you intend to return to your country of residence after your visit.
Supporting Documents: You'll need strong evidence to show ties to the UK or your home country. This includes:
Proof of employment or studies in the UK.
Financial stability (bank statements, pay slips).
Evidence of accommodation arrangements in the UK or home country.

2. Potential Risks of Overstaying or Changing Intent
Overstay Consequences:
Overstaying your visa could lead to being barred from re-entering the USA for years.
It might also affect future visa applications for other countries, including the UK and Schengen states.
Changing Intent While in the USA:
Entering on a visitor visa with premeditated plans to stay longer or adjust status (e.g., through asylum or other means) can be considered visa fraud.
U.S. authorities may revoke your visa or deport you if they suspect you misrepresented your intentions.

3. Legal Implications
UK Graduate Visa:
Not returning to the UK could have consequences for any future visa applications to the UK. Your current visa status might also influence how US immigration views your ties to the UK.
US Immigration:
Misrepresentation during your visa application or at the port of entry could lead to a permanent ban from entering the USA.

4. Best Approach
Plan Honestly:
If you wish to stay longer in the USA, explore legitimate routes (e.g., applying for a work visa, study visa, or family sponsorship if eligible).
Seek Professional Advice:
Consult an immigration attorney in both the UK and the USA to understand your options and the legal pathways available.
Build Strong Ties:
Having clear evidence of ties to your country of residence can strengthen your visa application.

5. Alternative Considerations
If you intend to migrate to the USA, research pathways like employment sponsorship, the Diversity Visa Lottery (if eligible), or family-based immigration.
This might align better with your long-term goals than entering as a visitor.

Hmmm ...trying to chew very well .... you're in the UK on a two year Graduate Visa .... what are you doing? If things didn't work out in the UK as planned why do you think it will work out in the US? What marketable skills do you have? Note.....Trump is coming into Office next month.

Your visit visa would be rejected based on lack of ties to the Uk given that your post graduate visa in 🇬🇧 is about to expire. Secondly if you are successful this man is waiting

If you can’t make it in the uk, you definitely can’t make it in the USA

You dey smoke Indian hemp.

OP,

Let me explain this to you. You are in the UK where almost all American companies have a European branch or headquarters. So, if you cannot make it aka find a good job in the UK with less competition, why do you think it would be possible in the US where the competition is fiercer? Most importantly, it is pertinent to know that obtaining work authorisation to work in the US is difficult with a visit visa except if you want to work under-table jobs. Are you prepared to do so?

*Everything here depends on whether you will issued the visit visa in the first place*

I'll suggest you find another school in 🇺🇸 and apply for another masters or PhD, then when you land you can figure your next move.

I would actually like to enter legally, but then, I feel the Visit visa is easier to get. Thanks for your input 👍

My backup plan is to apply for a Master's program in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. Since you're in Canada, I think you're the best person to give me some advice on this.

canada is also cracking down on student visa and no guarantees of permanent residency after studying. Best advice to you is to go learn french or check the indemand occupations in Canada express entry ( PR) program.

Apply for NIW or work in a company whose headquarters is in the US and apply for L1 visa after say four years.

Another master's program? Why exactly? You people like book o and have plenty money.

But why do our people believe a US visit visa can easily be obtained on a UK student permit?

Delusions everywhere.

it used to be. Also timing matters. If you applied while still a student you will usually get it i know 2 babes that got it. But when you cross to graduate visa and you no get better job. They already know whatsup . They will likely bounce you.

Fair deal, but a US visit visa has no benefit other than the term "visit".

US is still the best developed country you can stay and survive without status tho. Trump to me is just bluffing or maybe not

Is America a developed country too just like Canada, UK, Singapore, Switzerland and some other European countries?

You said too much. It’s clear the OP’s intent is to enter the US and commit visa fraud, likely via fake marriage.

As some have mentioned, you are unlikely to be granted a visitors visa to the US while still being on a PG visa in the UK, except you probably decide to apply from Nigeria , which also has a low chance of approval without strong ties indicating that you will return. You likely stand a better chance applying from Nigeria though. The UK one on a PG visa is likely an automatic rejection.

As others mentioned also, what makes you believe you will find it better as an irregular migrant in the US if you do not find the UK suitable as a regular migrant?

ednut1:

I don't think this is recent. The US will not grant him a visitor visa while he is on a pg visa in the UK. They will almost definitely reject it except there is something special about his case.

He needs to apply from Nigeria and event then, he's chances may still be low but far higher than applying in the UK on a pg visa.

Gerrard56, please how easy can you convert L1 Visa to a Green Card?

Spend a minimum of four years on the visa while working and you become eligible. Further details on USICS via Google.

P.S. No company will apply for an L1 visa for a junior/entry level employee.
