Are there any disadvantages to using the Visa Waiver Program to come to the U.S.?

There are two primary limitations of visa waiver. First, if someone overstays the 90 day visa waiver period he can never use visa waiver to travel to the U.S. again. Second, with extremely limited exceptions, a foreign national cannot change status in the U.S. if he or she entered on visa waiver.
