Not sure what we're disagreeing on here, Scroggs - I completely agree with everything you say.
If shoe needs a Visa, then there is absolutely no question - he should not even contemplate going without one. The best way of confirming this is with the US Embassy. As I said in my first post, even if one is not required, it doesn't harm to have one.
What I'm talking about is the case where a Visa is not required, which, from the information he's given us, is the situation which shoe is actually in - although he must confirm that himself.
If my posts at any time sounded like I might be suggested that he should do anything illegal, or enter the US without all of the required paperwork, then I apologise, because that is certainly not my intention!
