Visiting girlfriend who is on a student visa. Should I mention her to CBP?
I’m a UK citizen traveling to the US soon on an approved ESTA for a 13 day trip. I have my return flight booked and plenty of proof that I'm returning home (I’m currently a student and have a job in the UK).
My girlfriend is currently in the US on a study visa. I’ve seen some videos online saying you should never tell border control you’re visiting a partner because they’ll think you're trying to stay or get married and my girlfriend agrees with that. However, I’ve also always been told that lying to CBP is a big mistake.
Is it better to say "Visiting a friend" or "Visiting my girlfriend"?
And also
Does it change anything that she is also an international student and not a US citizen?
I don't want to overcomplicate things, but I also don't want to get banned for misrepresentation if I'm caught in a lie.
Any advice?
