Sample Visa Waiver form

[Rich-n-Ang]

I'm sure this has been mentioned before but if you fly from Manchester do you have to just put M A N C H E S T E on the form ? or do you write the "R" at the end ?

I always squash it in! I reckon it's their fault for not allowing enough spaces!

I always squeeze the ER in the last box and have never had it questioned.

Hi

I have found an example of a Visa Waiver form if it is of any use to anyone?

I think I might have asked this question already, but can't find the original thread - many apologies if this message has already appeared.

Our son is disabled (he will be 8 when we travel). He has both physical and mental disorder, but no definite diagnosis. I wrote to the US Embassy in London to ask their advice about how I should answer question A on the visa waiver form. They have eventually replied, but I am none the wiser[confused] Their response was "Travelers to the United States who have been afflicted with a disease of public health significance or a mental disorder, which is associated with a display of harmful behaviour, cannot travel on the visa waiver program. If the disability poses no threat to others, travelers may be able to travel visa free".

Although my son does not pose a threat to anyone, I still do not know whether I should tick Yes or No in answer to Question A, and the Embassy did not answer my direct question about this. Also, does the phrase "may be able to travel visa free" mean "are able to travel visa free", or "might be able to travel visa free, at the discretion of immigration". I would appreciate it if anyone who is perhaps in a similar situation could enlighten me on this one. I don't particularly want to ring the Embassy at £1.30 per minute!

I think the reply says it would be OK for him to travel on the visa waiver as they're saying that anyone with a public health disease (ie something contagious) or with a mental disorder which may result in unpredictable behaviour which could harm someone else are not able to travel on the visa waiver. So, as your son comes into neither of these categories, you should be ticking the NO box on the form.

If neither of these scenarios describe your son, then there's no reason why he shouldn't travel on a visa waiver. However, any entrance to the US (whether on a visa or visa waiver) is always at the discretion of the Immigration Officer on the day plus there are no rights to appeal on a visa waiver if refused entry.

I'd take with you a copy of the question you asked and the reply from the American Embassy which at least explains that you requested the information and acted on the response.

Thanks Blott - I will definitely take my original letter and the Embassy's reply with me. Good heavens, I hope all this worry is worth it [msnwink]
