F-1 Student visa terminated?
Hi, I am a citizen of the Netherlands and do not require a Visa to enter the US as a tourist. Right now I'm here on a F-1 student visa, but two days ago I withdrew from the university, so I have to leave the country in 15 days. How long do I have to be out of the country before I can re-enter the US as a tourist? Sincerely, Desperate for help! Is one week enough? Brother_........where do you get your information from? how sure are you?

There is not set time if you have not overstayed .. but a few months would look better at the POE Remember you now have to pay for the visa waiver thru ESTA

There is no rule as written out as law. The decision of letting you enter to US on VWP is totally on discretion of Consular Officer at the airport. So you can try, but nobody can predict the result at all.

You are mistaken. Once you had a visa, such as an F-1, you are not allowed to participate at the VWP program anymore. You will always need a visa to visit again, in your case the B-2. The Alien number assigned to you (your personal data) will tag you at entry when CBP scans your machine-readable passport. If you apply for a B2 just a few weeks after coming back from the US, they will deny it. You should wait at least 90 days, preferably 6 months before applying. The B2 will then be "multiple entry" valid for 10 years.
