we are trying.......... have you ever tried ringing the us embassy ? In any
country ? You nearly have to get an appointment to speak to them, lol. Joanne "Roger B." a écrit dans le message de news: ... I'd try to get hold of someone in a U.S. consular office and ask them. "Jo" wrote... Will be travelling from Vancouver to Seattle with the quick coach. Does anyone know what the procedure is at customs as we have a french and a British passport. When we asked about it at the quick coach office they told us if it took any extra time they would just leave us behind to get the next bus. As that is three hours later would not really like that to happen. |

Any suggestions on another form of transport from Vancouver to Seattle for
$40 ? Also getting you through the whole of Seattle safely to the airport without getting lost ? The flight connections didn't work and even if we could rent a car the stress of driving thru Seattle is not my idea of fun. Joanne My past experience has been that foreign passport holders had to get off of the bus (this was a cruise ship transfer to Seattle) and have their passports looked at. didn't take long but these people should know what to expect and should give you a better answer or I would be looking at another form of transport. |

As that is three hours later would not really like that to happen. You need to come to the office, pay USD6, get a visa waiver form, fill it in, have an interview with an officer that could be 1) short and pleasant; or 2) (more likely) long and unpleasant, (they assume that all "aliens" want to live in "god's own country"), and finally they will most likely stamp your passport and let you in. You will also have to clear customs with your luggage. Could be 5 minutes on a quiet day when the officer is in a good mood, or could be 2 hours on a busy day when the officer is a Republican that eats freedom fries. Sjoerd For the Quick Bus $80 you can rent a car. Eliminate the terrible Seattle traffic by taking the I-405 Seattle by-pass that leaves I-5 a few miles South of Everett and travels on the East side of Lake Washington thru Bellevue. As there are two in the car use the HOV Lane on I-405 which makes it even easier for you. Do not take the exits to re-join I-5 at the end of I-405. Continue to travel straight and it will lead you directly to Sea-Tac Airport. As with any airport -- drive slow so you have time to read the signage to the U-Drive area. Allow a minimum 3 hours for the Vancouver to Sea-Tac journey. Be sure that you get the correct documents for the car to cross the border. |

What document would she need for the car to cross the border, besides the rental agreement? |
