Hi Patsy

I had a 6 month visa that ran out last Aug. I had made 3 trips to Fl. to sort out the new house and then came over in September on a 90 day visa waiver. The IO asked me if I knew the rules - I could have replied what rules but thought better of it - she said I was only allowed 90 days in any one year. I politely pointed out that my other visits had been made when I was in possession of a 6 month visa. She politely pointed out that I had better get it renewed when I returned to UK or I would not be allowed in for a further 12 months.

Went to US Embassey, got 6 month visa renewed, no problems. I then asked the American officer we were dealing with - what are the actual rules. His reply - 'it depends on the Immigration Officer in the uniform - if he is in a bad mood who knows'. It is ludicrous that not even the Embassy could answer the question, so one may argue oh but this, oh but that. It is upto the discretion of the Immigration Offer and basically there are no rules!!!

Ee were told the same, entirely up to the immigration officer you are dealing with at the time
A hell of a risk to take
