i really want to go to michaels funeral,i,ve never been to ameriaca before but i don,t understand how the visa works,say if i wanted to fly out as early as tomorrow ,wednesday from the u.k how do you get a visa at short notice,someone told me you can sign something at the airport ,as long as you have more than 6 months on your passport,can someone explain to me.
 
usually from the UK. you fill out the green form on the plane as a temp visa and thats it i believe.

The nearest places to stay would probably be around Solvang, California if I'm not mistaken.
 
The day hasn't been confirmed by the family yet has it? Isn't it just TMZ at the moment?
 
it,s been on sky news,i don,t know what to do,my husband is here cursing me because the flights going tomorrow are just over the top,he says i,m mental,just what i need on top of what i,m feeling right now,please anyone if you have the time and you can look at flights for me if you are not going yourself that is,maybe for thurday now,if they are not 2 expensive please,i have to go to bed now,my daughter has to be up for school,so if anybody has the time to look for me,from manchester to los angeles 2 adults 1 child,i would be grateful,and post links or whatever,thanksou,it wpould be very much appreciated.
 
I've been looking into this all night...I can't go. :( The VWP or whatever it's called has to be sent in at least 3 days before travelling...which would be Friday. And it asks for flight numbers, address of accommodation etc which I don't know yet and I don't want to book it incase I don't get it successfully. Plus it's too much money. :( I'm gutted.

I don't understand some fans from Europe have managed to book tickets, I'm confused.

i still don,t understand the visa thing,i,m sure someone mentioned in special circumstances,also i spoke with one of the dads at the school today,he goes to the usa quite often from here,and it was only about a month ago or maybe less he came back,he said you sign a waiver form or something to that effect ,in the airport,i,ll ask him again tomorrow morning,
 
sometimes i feel i am stupis,i,ve been looking at this about the visas,and sometimes it seems to me that if you hold a passport from a vwp country that you don,t need a visa,
heres some of the information,can someone whos abit more intelligant than me read it and explain,because i don,t understand how you have to wait 74hrs and people are booking flights

It means that all those countries don't have to get the kind of visa that takes forever in your passport, before anyone from these countries would get a little form in the plane that they had to fill out and give to US customs on arrival, but this year they made it so you can do that online, before you fly. So you you to that site and fill out the form to get your authorisation to enter the US, it shouldn't take very long.

hey there,
I've just applied for ESTA, it took only 2 minutes for me and they said "granted". If you try again, you'll see that the info about the flight airline and accommodation are not required, it's just information. Personnaly I didn't fill mine and it went fine. Hope it helped!

thankyou.so you get it straight away?
 
i just been and filled the forms in,

this is what it said,


Your travel authorization has been approved and you are authorized to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program. This does not guarantee admission to the United States; a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer at a port of entry will have the final determination.


so i have authorization but its still up to border control.

i just need to find a fairly decent price,my husband is calling me to bits right now because of how much money he will spen,but michael is worth every penny,


anyone find any reasonable flights,let me know please.
