i am a british citizen and do not live in the united states

Answer 1

Visits to Cuba by a UK citizen will be no problem whatsoever.  The only places I'm aware of where entry stamps get you into serious trouble are Muslim nations where an entry stamp from Israel gets you deported.

Answer 2

Probably.

But if you're clean and not carrying drugs/weapons/large amounts of cash, they will eventually let you in.

Answer 3

Let me tell you about my friend.

He lived and worked as a teacher in New York for 9 months (and had a visa under those conditions). He was scheduled to stay for 12 months, but a change in circumstances meant he had to leave after 9. A short while later he traveled with some friends and family back to New York, and was stopped at the airport.

While everyone he was traveling with was allowed entry under the visa waiver program, he wasn't. He had the visa from his work there, but because he no longer worked in America his visa wasn't valid. It seems an invalid (but not expired) visa overrules the visa waiver program and he was refused entry to the US and told he couldn't return until after the (non valid) visa had expired, when he'd be eligible for the visa waiver program again.

I'd like to say a UK passport and a return ticket would guarantee you entry; but if they refused entry to someone who they happily let teach their children for 9 months, left voluntarily & had a return ticket, then who knows what might happen to someone who's entering from "evil" Cuba.
