Has your ESTA already been approved or confirmed by the site?

My mother remarried with US citizenship.

I checked and it is still certified.

Would it be smoother to get a B2 visa ？
By the way, it's been about 6 months since I was denied a student visa, but is it possible to get a B2 visa ？

Please help.

Why do I need a student VISA if I want to come to the US to visit my mother for about a week?

If you care about it, that's what Anta needs to find out and write about. You are probably living in extreme poverty because you couldn't do your job by leaving it to others.

I didn't explain it well enough.

I applied for a student visa to study at a community college myself.
I was denied because my mother was applying for a green card and I was suspected of continuing to live there.

My mother's remarriage and my study abroad are two different things.

I am unable to see my mother because my student visa was denied and I want to come to the U.S. I wanted to ask if I can come to the U.S. with Esta, which I had already obtained.
Thank you very much.

I think it is possible to travel to the US with ESTA, but there is a risk of being denied entry if there is an F1 rejection on your record. It all depends on the immigration officer.

If you apply for a B2 visa at this point, you will most likely be rejected for the same reason.

The following information on the relationship between ESTA and student visa is available from the web.

ESTA is not a visa; ESTA is a system to collect information and check security risks of persons traveling to the United States for tourism or business purposes for 90 days or less in advance under the Visa Waiver Program （ VWP ）. ESTA is a system for collecting information and checking the security risks of people traveling to the U.S. for tourism or business purposes for 90 days or less in advance
Student visas are required for people who intend to stay in the U.S. for a long period of time to study or work. To apply for a student visa, an interview and submission of documents at a U.S. embassy or consulate are required.
ESTA and student visas are two separate systems and do not affect each other. Therefore, being denied a student visa does not invalidate ESTA.
However, ESTA does not guarantee entry into the U.S., and ultimately the immigration inspector will decide whether or not to admit you. The examiner will consider the traveler's purpose of travel, length of stay, past visa application history, and other factors in deciding whether to admit or deny entry.
Therefore, it is possible that being denied a student visa may be detrimental to your immigration status. In particular, it may be difficult to enter the country if they suspect that you intend to stay permanently; if you are traveling under ESTA, it is advisable to bring documents that can prove your intention to return home and the purpose of your trip.
ESTA is not considered unusable due to the denial of a student visa, but it is likely to be subject to strict scrutiny at immigration. To apply for a B2 visa, you will need to go to the U.S. embassy or consulate for an interview and submit documents.

Since my mother has gone to the trouble of marrying an American citizen, is it not possible for her to acquire citizenship?
I think it is possible to bring the children over after citizenship.

I hear that citizenship can be acquired quite quickly by marrying an American citizen.

I wonder how many years it would take.
If it took 10 years, the marriage would be dissolved.

As #16 wrote,
Now that your student visa has been denied, you will most likely be denied entry even if you have ESTA.
Because ESTA is not a visa.
By the way, since your student visa has been denied, even if you apply for a B2 visa,
it will be denied unless you have a good reason. You will have to meet your mother in Japan or in another country such as Canada or Mexico. You would have to change your study abroad to some other country.

The esta is still valid, so there is a possibility that you can enter the country and stay for a week.
However, you can't go to a community college on an I-20 with the esta still in effect, so you will need to apply for an f-1 again.
As others have said, it is very likely that you will be rejected for the same reason, so it may be better to study in another country.
If you really have to try, even if it is just for appearances, I think your chances will improve somewhat if you emphasize that you have a job lined up after you graduate from the college and return to Japan, and submit a letter from that employer as well.
If you can get an f-1 visa, you can switch to a work visa or apply for permanent residence without returning to your home country after graduation from college. You may want to consult with an agent or something. I still wonder why the embassy knew that your mother was applying for permanent residence.
