I get regular news from a Money Saving Website and just reading this week`s was most intrigued to see included an update on the VISA WAIVER programme for USA.
As from 12th. January 2009, you will no longer have to fill in a form on the plane but MUST do it on the internet before you go. If you do not have access to the internet yourself then you must fnd someone else to do it.
Just checked on here before posting this and notice several questions in the last few days concerning the U.S. visa waiver but none of them mention this fact (not even some of our very knowledgeable contributors such as Buenchico!) so this must not be generally known yet.
Although I have no immediate plans to visit U.S. I have completed mine so should I wish to go in next two years it is aldready done. Just as I obtained a visa quite some years ago (very quick from Embassy in London) only because I noticed the queues for the Laker Skytrain and thought it a good idea - just in case I wanted to go at short notice - those were the days!
Thought this is link, but will have to return with further info on site I saw it on
