※ 引述《Maplered (Better N' Better)》之銘言：
: 父母以ESTA來美國西雅圖玩
: 預計在海關給的12週期限內 三月底回台灣
: 不過現在武漢肺炎疫情擴大 我們想避免搭飛機旅行
: （雖然現在或許台灣更安全 XD)
: 請問持ESTA是否有什麼方法可以合法延續在美停留時間？
: 或者有什麼單位可以聯絡詢問這方面的資訊
: 謝謝～
目前狀態是 CBP已經更新 Satisfactory Departure 的申請條件 https://ppt.cc/fHp7Sx
以往 ESTA 入境待超過 90 天而不黑掉的辦法只有透過 1. 申請 Satisfactory
Departure 並且通過，可以多延長 30 天居留時間和 2. 跟公民配偶伴侶結婚，把黑
掉的部份漂白回來。
Satisfactory Departure規定在 8 CFR 217.3. 節錄原文：
(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.
面臨此問題的遊客可以向 CBP Deferred Inspections office諮詢。
