Correct. There is some good information on this thread, but it is highly date-sensitive. Not only that, but you are not in a position to judge what is correct and what is not.

The ONLY definitive source of information is the TSA, if necessary via the US Embassy in your domicile country. That doesn't guarantee correct info, but you stand a chance of a fair hearing if you are given false (and attributable) information by US authorities. The TSA will laugh in your face if you turn up at the US Immigration Post saying, "My mate on Pprune said it would be OK".

You stand to lose a lot of money invested in courses if you are turned away on entry. Make sure your information is correct. I repeat, there is only one source you can trust and can quote in case of dispute.
