NYCVisas
From the Sky News website,
America's home security chief has told Sky News airlines flying to the US must continue to hand over all passengers' credit card details after July. That is when a temporary exemption for EU countries, who fear their citizens' privacy is being infringed, runs out. The US authorities fear another September 11 attack, this time coming out of Europe and most likely the UK.
...*sigh*
My trusted and wise friend Steven also commented:
"Sorry Sparky, but if I were you I'd check with the Embassy in London to find out exactly where you stand vis-a-vis the visa waiver program."
I just phoned the US Embassy in London (tel. (for visa stuff) 09042 450100). He said that we do qualify for the visa waiver program because:
 |
our visit is for less than 90 days, for holiday purposes |
|
our passports are machine readable |
|
the airline we're going with participates with the visa waiver program - I phoned them (tel. 0870 240 0055), 'Zoom' airlines do participate as long as: |
|
we are British Citizens |
That's the 'tick'-et?
