USA Visa Waiver Renewal Canada Border

    I'm German citizen visiting my girlfriend in Vancouver, Canada on a 180 day tourist visa. I've been to the US on 1st of March for a daytrip and got a 90 day visa waiver which will expire on 29th May. I have been for two more daytrips to the US where I went in the morning and came back at evening.

    Now my question: Can I re-enter the US after 29th of May and get another visa waiver? I've searched several forums, blogs and the US immigration website but couldn't find any clear information. It was often stated as a rule of thumb to stay out of the US for the same amount of time spent in the US during the visa. Would that mean that I can go back to the US three days after my visa waiver expired since I've been to the US for three daytrips?

    I wanna book a trip to Vegas and LA and just wanna have certainty that there won't be any visa problems. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Sebastian

    Do you have flights booked out of the US or Canada back to Europe to prove that you will be leaving? If so you will be grand if not you might have issues

    I do have my flight back to Germany booked already and I can print out the receipt as prove, I'm about to book my trip to Vegas but I am afraid that they won't let me. How can I get certainty. I do have my current visa waiver running but I'm staying in Canada for most of the time.

    The US and Canadian border authorities exchange information, but it's not fully automated yet. So the US CBP may have received a record of your departure when you re-entered Canada.

    Did you get a Canadian entry stamp in your passport on the day you returned to Canada? That should also satisfy any US CBP concerns.

    If you have visa waiver from the States ,it will not extended by entering Canada. So lets say you enetered USA on the 1st of may you only have 90 days all together no matter if you are in Canada or USA , at least that what someone told me before. If I am wrong let someone correct me. Also you have to fly back from the USA back home.
