@Graham *****

Thank you Did you drive trough and back? I have a rental but was planning to walk across. Whats better?

Im Using METV for that exact purpose. Staying 5 months. Quite convenient, but still need 1 border bounce.

But you could so Single entry That gives you 60+30 days, then bounce and come back on exemption that gives you another 30 + 30 days, or 45 + 30 days depending on when you bounce.

EDIT, i missed your nationality. Can you apply METV from Ethiopia?

But letter from embassy would have been faster no?

Your airline will very likely want to see onwards flight before they allow you to board. I used the service Luc linked too :) fast and cheap

@John ******

nope, i did my 30 day extension there. They had separate desk for the 90 day reporting. I had one person in front of me in the queue.

I did it with 42 days left on my initial stamp. (METV)
