You are kidding... aren't you? Ok, you will not get any problems if you: - will be patient - don't make dirty jokes to the customer officers - will tell what you will do in the US and how long you will stay - are having the correct paperwork with you - are taking only allowed goods with you - are not called Osama - are speaking at least as much english, to understand some fundamental questions and to answer to them - have a credit card or cash for the stay there There are some stories, that are going around and everybody is adding a bit nonsense to them. Don't trust half of them. -- Urs from Berne, Switzerland in the heart of Europe |

I flew London/Baltimore and got from the plane to the street in about 30 minutes. However, how long it takes does depend which airport you use. The queues at places like Chicago, New York and Los Angeles can be much longer. Many of the stories that you hear about problems come from journalists. Journalists require a visa to enter the USA if they are following a story. For many years before 9/11 the US authorities did not enforce this regulation - now they do and several journalists have been caught out - they do not have the correct paperwork so they pay the price and then they write a story about how bad the proces for entering th USA is. I'm not saying that there are never problems for innocent people entering the USA but they are not as frequent as you might believe from all the stories in the media. And innocent people are delayed entering other countries - not just the USA. |

Unless of course, you visit a city and can figure out how to use public transportation. |

Don't bother answering, the poster spams his site to various
newsgroups and I doubt if he even read the replies. |
