Loads of people travel to the US under the visa waiver scheme with
arrests/cautions/convictions. They may fingerprint you but are not going to do a full search on the UK database - think about logistics/costs involved. Just try not to seem guilty as you talk to the immigration bloke at the airport - he'll look at your passport ask you some questions and send you on your way - especially if you have previous US stamps in the passport. Agreed, if you have previous stamps in your passport you should have no problems at all. Matt. |

btw....it seems they only fingerprint people with visas. Not 'visiting
tourists'. Why is not clear to me since there would be just as much threat coming from these people. Anyway, that's the latest I heard quite recently from a friend who did come as a tourist. Your call.... Also, it was not clear but this was in UK or the US? If it was in UK I wouldn't even bother and just go on the waiver. Fly "Dave" wrote in message ...

Anyway, President != Queen, President is more like Prime Minister and Queen rolled into one. - "300% tax on *gas*?! How in hell did you limeys ever let them do THAT to you?!!" Oh well, it pays for a national health service and helps them not embarrass themselves with the abominations which are SUVs But you know what? I've been here long enough to figure out that the whole thing is a pretty well-damped pendulum. It swings one way, it swings another - sometimes with a period of a decade or two - but never too far. It *works*. Hey, just a thought. That whole war on terror thing... whatever happened with all those anthrax-laced letters? "Weapons grade" stuff, rumours of terrorist nations producing it, then all of a sudden... silence! Hmmm, doesn't it bother anybody that an entire $400 billion war was fought over WMD, when in fact there was none there, but the only time actual WMD -WERE- actually found, -INSIDE CONGRESS NO LESS-, everyone has forgotten completely about it? Funny the way this world works. If it does. -- Ken Tough |
