That's right LdDriver, you've got it spot on.

Ricardo, don't worry, you do not need any visas, all you need is the AFPS website stuff, fingerprints and they'll send you an e-mail saying you're approved and then take it as you enter the States in case of any problems. So, no Visas, just the TSA sh*te.

You have plenty of time to do the TSA stuff - the quoted 30 days is a maximum wait period once they have received all the required info including the fingerprints. After I had submitted my prints and got an aknowlegement i had approval email to start training in 20 MINUTES!!!! Thats fast!:eek:

Sorted!
 

Hey Guys,

I got an email from the consulate confirming that i can travel on the visa waiver program. Just have to get my finger prints at Farnborough and thats it.

Thanks for all your help.

By the way, does anyone know the best and most reasonable place to lodge at DFW whilst i do my training?

With the fat chick!

Do yourself a massive favour and triple check that your passport is indeed machine readable!! If it was issued by a Embassy abroad it may not be!

I only discovered this at passport control on departure. :cool: Check your passport.

And Ricardo, don't forget to let us know how it goes.
