I was denied a student visa a few months after applying for esta.
My mother remarried and lives in the US, so they thought I was here for permanent residence.

I wonder if the Esta is no longer available now that my student visa was denied ？
I would like to come to the US to visit my mother for a week or so, but will I still need a B2 visa ？

Thank you in advance.

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.
