Hi, I'm an Italian citizen, in a long distance relationship with an American girl I met in Italy in January 2013. we are 21 and 20. She spent one month in Italy at that time for school, we fell in love, started a relationship, and last August we spent 25 days together in Minnesota, her home state, under the Visa Waiver Program. Last Autumn, she suggested me to interrupt my studies in Italy to study in US so that we could spend more time together, and I had to accept giving up my previous studying career for the sake of our relationship.
Unfortunately, my student visa application was rejected twice by the US consulate, in december 2013 and january 2014, for lack of ties to Italy, in spite of the huge evidence provided. So we decided to give up with that plan, and keep going on living in our countries, spending only summers together, as we had done the previous year, until she can graduate and move over here with me.
This year, though, after uploading my ESTA info with the data about the rejected student visa application, we had the nice surprise of it being denied.
Since I'm tired of financing the American government through the money of my application fees, I decided I would not apply for a tourist visa. I'd rather spend my holiday in Canada, where my girlfriend can reach me from US. We're planning to stay a month and a half in Montréal. I have no intention to get to US in any way. After dealing with all this bureaucratic nonsense, though, I wonder if there is any risk I may be rejected entrance at the airport because of my history with American bureaucracy. Could somebody please advise about it? Thanks.
