Got it like 3 weeks ago and already went to the US. It is good for 10 years but we might join visa waiver in that time.
You can for marriage but you have to prove you didnโt go with the intent of marrying and you just fell in love while there ha
Iโve recently come back from the Romanian Consulate in London to try and obtain a visa for Romania for my partner. Hopefully we can go this July. Sadly she is only eligible for a 2 year USA visa..ย
Where is she from? Romania has joined Schengen, only for sea and air travel, but Romania can issue Schengen Visas now. If she has a Schengen Visa, she can come.
Sheโs from Algeria, Iโm from the UK. She has a conference in July so hoping it can be issued before then! We will be flying in
What do the two stars underneath the picture signify?!? Just curious!
The stars represent the amount of security checks youโre gonna go through once you get into the us
Oh wow! Thanks for the insight!
What?? What do you mean?
The more stars you have on your us visa, the more youโll likely go through customs!
Oh interesting!
I've got no idea.
Why is Romania not part of the visa waiver program? It always looked so weird to me given how theyโre part of the EU
It will happen soon, but US VWP is only granted if the visa refusal rate for that nation is under 3%. Romania hasnโt succeeded until recently.
Because they need to first have 90 days visa free for USA, have a biometric passport, share all criminal data of all citizens in an instant background check like format, then their overstay rate has to be low (less than 2% ILLEGALLY yes you can overstay if you adjust status), finally have less than 3% refusal rate for visas overall (not sure of immigrant vs non immigrant visa).

When you use a visa, you can stay for up to 6 months and potentially change status in the US. If you use ESTA, you can stay for 3 months and cannot change your status in the US.
