If you are asking about the question on the ESTA application about arrests and convictions then it only applies to major crimes committed as an adult and drug crimes committed as an adult. -------------- Send this to him if you are asking about ESTA: Citizens of about 38 countries can travel to the USA for up to 90 days at a time as a tourist or for some business purposes by registering for ESTA > before < their trip begins. The cost is US$14, which is similar to the fee for the Australian ETA program.
Https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/ http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en... http://london.usembassy.gov/faq-vwp.html Registering is accomplished online, you don't need the details of your trip, and the response is usually immediate. The confirmation is valid for multiple trips to the USA over two (2) years so don't wait until the last minute. VERIFY the information you enter is correct.
For example, human-error clicking Yes to the question about ever-before overstaying or otherwise violating the terms of a USA visa will cause your application to be denied. Correcting the error will be difficult and time consuming. You may even be forced to apply for a regular visa, which is expensive in addition to being time consuming and difficult.
The online application has a question about arrests and convictions. It ONLY applies to major crimes and drug arrests/convictions as an adult (age 18 or older). Answer NO to the question unless your personal history includes an event which counts as a major crime committed as an adult or drug offense committed as an adult.
A UK Police Caution is not an arrest or a conviction, so answer No regarding any you received, even for drugs. http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/ineligibilities/ineligibilities_1364.html Print the confirmation - or at least record the number - and keep the information with your passport. Having a return or onward ticket leaving North America is a requirement, so have a copy of your airline itinerary at passport control.
Check with your health insurance to find out if it covers you in the USA and pays for medical evacuation to home (should that be necessary). If yes then take proof of coverage with you. If no or not sure then get trip medical insurance, which is cheap and sold by airlines & travel agents.
The USA has wonderful medical care but it isn't free or even cheap. Please do not skimp on this as an otherwise-silly accident could turn into a crisis if you don't have medical insurance. This is a link from the US government, but the info is good for anyone traveling outside their home country: http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1470.html If you are planning a long visit then DON'T schedule your departure day for the 90th day (any part of a day in the USA counts as a whole day, so if you arrive at 23:59h on the 1st and leave at 00:01h on the 10th it is 10 days in the USA).
Schedule your departure not later than the 88th day as there are no (zero) provisions in the Visa Waiver Program for someone to voluntarily extend their stay. If you miss your flight due to something Immigration might consider avoidable (ex. Flat tire on the way to the airport) they may ban you from using the VWP in the future.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
