I am a U. S. Customs and Border Protection Officer on the southwest border between Mexico and the United States. I know the ins and outs of the job as seen on TV/News and things intentionally hidden from the media! There's more to this job than "Anything to declare?" I dont know all but I'll do my best to answer any questions you have! All answers are my opinion, and my opinion only!
Nothing has really changed since President Trump took office, despite what the media portrays. From my recent experiences, we haven't really been "more aggressive" than we have in the past. That being said, reckless driving is not a CIMT and you will not be placed under removal proceedings for that conviction alone.
Share Answer: 
A Visa Waiver applicant (VWP) cannot be placed under removal proceedings. The process of removing a Visa Waiver alien is called a Visa Waiver Refusal under section 217 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. To put it simply, it basically means we want you to go back to your country and apply for a visa because based on the facts presented, we will not allow you to enter under VWP status.
You should only be presented with a copy of the sworn statement.

I believe there is a two year waiting period to take the polygraph again. The unfortunate thing is, the polygraph eliminates too many good people. I would recommend trying again after the two years!
Share Answer: 
You will probably be asked several questions as to why you were in the United States for such an extended period of time. It's not normal for a person to be on vacation for 6 months in another country. Be prepared to provide proof of economic solvency to justify your entry into the United States again.

Cruise Ship Officer
Is the "women and children first" rule still in effect?
Certified Nurse Aide
Are there social cliques (like "cool kids") in old folks homes?
Bartender
What's the best way to get a bartender's attention?
You need to ask yourself the following question, "If an American citizen came to my country for X many months and comes back X weeks later to stay X many months again, is he really just visiting?"
This what every officer thinks about when seeing someone with a history of remaining in the US for extended periods of time. Every officer calculates "Is this alien spending more time inside this country than outside?"
Theres no clear answer to your question, you just need to make sure your not spending more time inside the US than outside.

I am glad I could help you. It is much better to take care of this issue now before trying to enter the United States.
Good luck!

No problem at all, the new petition (I-757 i believe) with the new start and end dates is all you'll need, with the visa.
