※ 引述《Maplered (Better N' Better)》之铭言:
: 父母以ESTA来美国西雅图玩
: 预计在海关给的12周期限内 三月底回台湾
: 不过现在武汉肺炎疫情扩大 我们想避免搭飞机旅行
: (虽然现在或许台湾更安全 XD)
: 请问持ESTA是否有什么方法可以合法延续在美停留时间?
: 或者有什么单位可以联络询问这方面的资讯
: 谢谢~
目前状态是 CBP已经更新 Satisfactory Departure 的申请条件 https://ppt.cc/fHp7Sx
以往 ESTA 入境待超过 90 天而不黑掉的办法只有透过 1. 申请 Satisfactory
Departure 并且通过,可以多延长 30 天居留时间和 2. 跟公民配偶伴侣结婚,把黑
掉的部份漂白回来。
Satisfactory Departure规定在 8 CFR 217.3. 节录原文:
(a) Satisfactory departure. If an emergency prevents an alien admitted under
this part from departing from the United States within his or her period of
authorized stay, the district director having jurisdiction over the place of
the alien’s temporary stay may, in his or her discretion, grant a period of
satisfactory departure not to exceed 30 days. If departure is accomplished
during that period, the alien is to be regarded as having satisfactorily
accomplished the visit without overstaying the allotted time.
