U.S. visa query
Anyone been to the U.S. for hour building/a flying holiday in the last few months?
Did you travel on the visa waiver scheme (if from the UK) or did you use a specific visa?
Realise this has probably been done to death elsewhere, but I'm really looking for answers from those with more recent experience, please, not dated stuff.
No offence!

You're right it has been done to death. You only need a visa for training, not hour building/flying holiday. To get an FAA airman cert based on your CAA/JAA PPL you need to go through various hoops (ie, apply to a specfic US FSDO and pay the CAA to confirm you are who you say you are). I'm sure some kind person will post you a link to the forms.
Then it's just a BFR and away you go.

SA, HB,
Thanks for your replies.
Have already gone through the CAA/FAA hoops, and things are OK on that score.
It's just that I had an anxious few moments yesterday when someone mentioned the dreaded "v" word, as I'd previously thought that I'd covered all the required paperwork angles; then when I looked on PPRuNe, people were mentioning B1 this and B2 that, and...
Anyway, you can only plan so much, and the rest happens as it will.
Chocks away!
