Change made for re-entry into the US on an ESTA

24 July, 2013

Please be aware of the below which has arisen recently.

Can I leave the US after my internship/ Traineeship Program or J1 and re-enter on an ESTA without returning home?


There is no definitive answer to this question. Customs & Border Protection and the ECA have advised that it is not guaranteed that you can leave the US on a non-immigrant visa and re-enter the US on an ESTA without first returning to your resident country. The final decision is at the discretion of the Control Border Protection (CBP) Officer on your re-entry back into the USA.
