if you are or even thinking about it - here's a tip to save a little dosh.

the new "esta" which you must have to enter or even pass through the good old u.s.a and which you get on line and is currently free is going to cost $10 per person starting probably in september or october. according to martyn lewis' newsletter, they are good for two years - so even if you aren't sure you might be going - best to get one before they start charging for them. just put esta in your search engine to find out about them.

 

and another thing while i'm here...

student loans which are supposed to be at or below the rate of inflation.

i understand that they will be charging 4% starting in september.

not a lot of people know that.

better to be forewarned

Well I Got That But What Offences Are Covered Under That Phrase

 

Moral Turpitude

 

I Know Its Common Decency But For My Own Knowledge Base, A List Of Crimes Under That Heading Would Help

bb, why?

my understanding is that uk citizens don't need a visa

only need the esta form filled out.

 

 

i think moral turps has to do with leaving the sheep alone - we'll have to check that out with freakyleaky;)

It still makes it imposible to visit the US as I cannot afford the criminal amounts of money the US embassy want. I also cannot afford travel and supervision to London to attend the stupendous and utterly unrealistic confines of said interview! Even booking an appointment costs £1 per minute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The UK goverment has seen fit, in their ultimate stoopidity, to supply a comprehensive database to the US. Totally without a recipricol agreement!!!

just for info - if you look at the site and wonder if your passport is ok to use (electronically whatever)... on the page with the photo and the info - if your your name is like with loads of XXXXXXXXXXXXX's then it is ok.

 

 

so sorry bb that my country has taken such a weird stand. guess you'll never get to vegas! oh well, there are lots of other places to see!

take care!

just a follow up - it's official - you need to have this ESTA form filled out to enter the usa. it is free until september and once you have it, it is good for two years.

so if you might be going in the next two years - save £9 by getting it free on line - takes about 5 minutes. you don't need to fill in any travel plans.
