America Visa...

PurpleSmile

Hi there,

I leave for America on Sunday and thought I was prepared But now I am worried as my friend said I do not have all the documentation I need. Her passport is not British so her Visa application could be differnt. I just need to put my mind at rest.

I am going for 2weeks and have booked all hotel, can afford everything over there etc etc.

I applied for the Visa Waver and it was autherised.

Is there anything else I need to fill out? (other than them forms they give you on the plane)

Thank you so much I have been looking on the board for something similar but could not find any. I am not sure what to expect but have been told I get finger prints done etc

So what passport DOES she have? Depending on the answer she either needs to do the visa waiver like you or get a visa - if she needs one and hasn't got it it's far too late.

There is nothing else you need fill out. You will have your fingerprints taken (inkless) and I think a retina scan done as you go though immigration on arrival in the US. Nothing to worry about.

If your friend HAS a visa she will fill in different forms on the plane. The fingerprints etc will already have been done when she got the visa though they may check them

Oh!! Sorry I did not make myself clear. I am going with my partner who also has a uk visa waver. My friend went last year.

I am glad to know I have done it right

Thank you

I assume by the wording authorised, that you have completed the Electronic System for Travel Authorisation registration?

Yes I completed the ESTA. Do i need to complete anything else?

Not until you get on the plane. There you will fill in the green visa waiver form (same questions as ESTA) and a white (I think) customs (baggage) declaration. On some flights the green form has been done away with, but not the white one.
