Taking courses under Visa Waiver Program

Upvote:5

You can't use the VWP and take the courses with a visitor visa, because if you are using the VWP, you don't have a visa at all. Conversely, if you have a visitor visa, you cannot use the VWP.

You say you'd like to use the VWP repeatedly for a period of one to 1.5 years, spending alternate periods of ten weeks in, and four to eight weeks out of, the United States. Since you'll be spending more time in the US than out, you run a significant risk that a border officer will think you're trying to live in the US and therefore deny entry.

You might be less likely to run afoul of border officers if you get a B-2 visa, since this allows an initial period of entry of six months by default, and you can ask for a longer period of up to one year.
