ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

The US Visa Waiver Programme (VWP) allows most British Citizen passport holders to visit the US for up to 90 days. The types of journeys that are permissible under the VWP include general travel/tourism, certain types of business and when transitting to another country.

More details are available on the VWP and other aspects of US immigration at the following websites :
US Embassy in London: www.usembassy.org.uk
Department of Homeland Security: http://www.dhs.gov/us-visit
US Department of State: US State Department

If you have any doubts about whether you are eligible to enter the US under the VWP, or about visa matters generally, you are strongly advised to contact the US Embassy in London before your travel.

They can also be contacted as follows:
US Embassy, Grosvenor Square, London W1A 1AE. The Visa Information line is 0904 245 0100 (calls are charged at £1.20 per minute).

Please also read the following Questions & Answers:

Do I qualify to travel under the VWP or do I need a visa?

Several million British nationals travel to the US annually under the VWP without any problems. Only people described as a "British Citizen" on the photo page in their passport qualify to enter the US under the VWP. If you are described as a "British Subject", "British National (Overseas)", "British Overseas Territories Citizen", "British Dependent Territories Citizen", "British Protected Person" or "British Overseas Citizen", you will need a visa.

You will also probably need a visa if you fall into one of the following categories (Note: this list is not exhaustive).

You intend to stay longer than 90 days
You intend to travel to the US for a reason other than business, pleasure or transit
You have been arrested (even if not convicted)
You have a criminal record
You have a serious, communicable disease (including HIV)
You have been refused entry to the US on a previous occasion
You have been deported from the US
You have overstayed during a previous visit
If you are unsure, or if you think that your situation falls into any of the above categories, you should consult the US Embassy (see above) – you must do this well in advance of any plans to travel.

they're going to provide help to go into the u . s . in case you meet the skills. that's no longer a qualifying factor. the only difficulty you're able to be able to come across is paying for a artwork visa, as maximum places of work in the U. S. require a expert visual charm on the place of work, yet there are some that don't.

no, you should be able to enter for 90 days on the visa waiver and you cannot extend the 90 days once here.
