(Thought this was the most relevant place to post this as the only thing I'm sure about is I'm on the VWP!!)
I'm currently on the VWP in the US, I came here at the beginning of May to meet my BF (I'm from the UK) intended to leave a week later, but am now looking to go home at the end of July. After this I want to come back into the US.
Well, we're looking to get engaged and at some point in the future I'd like to get a green card. At this very moment in time I'm not absolutely certain about what I want to do and all the forms and 'guidance' on the internet about the different types of visa has got me confused.
Basically, can I apply for a visa whilst in the US and whilst on the VWP? - I know I can't apply for an extension, but a whole new visa?
Can I apply for a green card (for future reference) without being married to my BF, eg if we're just engaged?
What type of visa should I apply for right now so that I can stay in the US longer without having to go home every 3 months? And also that isn't as likely to get me caught up for repeated entry?
I'm not working or doing anything else illegal... Keeping to the terms of my waiver by leaving the country within the 3 month limit, but I want to stay here longer... I just don't know what to do right now.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you.
