Bonsoir Julien
Ca a été dit plein de fois ici. Passer au
Canada, au
Mexique où aux
Bahamas
ne remet absolument pas les compteurs à zéro. Tous séjours effectués dans ces pays sont comptabilisés dans les 90 jours. La seule possibilité d'obtenir une prolongation des 90 jours et lié au fait que vous êtes dans l'impossibilité de rentrer chez vous (hospitalisation, catastrophe majeure, blocage des transports aériens....) Dans ce cas on peut vous octroyer un délais de 30 jours max. Voir ici
I am visiting under the Visa Waiver Program, but I can't leave as scheduled due to an emergency. How do I extend my stay?
If an emergency prevents you - if admitted under the VisaWaiver Program (VWP) - from departing the United
States within your period of authorized stay, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) district director having jurisdiction over the place of your temporary stay may, at their discretion, grant a period of satisfactory departure not to exceed 30 days. If departure is accomplished during that period, you will be regarded as having satisfactorily accomplished the visit withoutoverstaying the allotted time. Satisfactory departure is only granted for real emergencies, such as hospitalization, conditions that cause flights to be cancelled or delayed for more than 24 hours (i.e. weather, worker strikes, etc. etc.) Otherwise, people visiting under the VWP may not extend their period of stay beyond their initial 90 days.
If you are unable to go to a USCIS office to obtain satisfactory departure because your overstay is due to a weather-related emergency and you are staying close to the airport until boarding, we suggest you keep a copy of any evidence you have of the emergency situation in order to resolve any questions about the reason for your overstay the next time you come to the U.S. This could include cancelled tickets, a statement from an airline about flight cancellations, including newspaper or other reports of significant storms.
Si vous voulez rester plus longtemps il faut rentrer dans le pays où vous êtes domicilié et faire une demande de visa B2 si pour tourisme (si c'est accordé vous pourrez voyager par tranche de 6 mois pendant 10 ans aux US) ou autre visa si c'est pour investir où travailler (H1B, J1, L, O, E....).
Attention à la tentation de dépasser ces 90 jours. Vous serez considéré comme "overstay". Vous pourrez rentrer en
France bien sur mais vous ne pourrez plus revenir aux
USA avant un certain nombre d'années.

Trips to
Canada,
Mexico, or nearby Islands
If you are admitted to the United
States under the VWP, you may take a short trip to
Canada,
Mexico, or a nearby island and generally be readmitted to the United
States under the VWP for the remainder of the original 90 days granted upon your initial arrival in the United
States. Therefore, the length of time of your total stay, including the short trip, must be 90 days or less. See the
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) website.
Citizens of VWP countries
* who reside in
Mexico,
Canada, or a nearby island are generally exempted from the requirement to show onward travel to another country
* when entering the United
States. Learn more at the
CBP website.
