F1 visa and ESTA

Upvote:1

Yes, having a visa in his passport does not affect his ability to apply for an ESTA or to enter the US on the Visa Waiver Program.

If he has discontinued his program of study, then his student status will have been terminated and the F1 visa will no longer be valid for travel, even if it has not been physically stamped with a cancellation stamp.

That is no bar to travel under the Visa Waiver Program. You can continue to use the program, obtain an ESTA, and travel to the United States as a visitor.

But be aware that if he returns to the US as a visitor soon after discontinuing a program of study, the border officer may suspect that he is trying to live in the United States. He should take extra precautions to be able to document the purpose of his visit at the border and his intentions to return to the UK.
