I can't be bothered to read all the gumpf before, but you need a visa to travel to the US now
It used to be you could just turn up, sign a waiver and walk through. They changed it about 15 months ago, so you have to apply for a visa before you leave.
I turned at the end of last year and prompty got whisked off to immigration for an hour.
Which was nice.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

I don't know the details, but ClientCo have been trying to send somebody to work permanently (or indefinitely anyway) in the US, which they hoped to have done 6 months ago but she's still waiting for the Visa. Seems like a very long and complicated process.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

How often do people get the rubber glove treatment when travelling to America? I'm surprised they get away with doing something like that, at least without some fuss being extended by the piece of meat being fingered. What happens if you refuse to be raped? Come to think of it, do women get a finger up the front-bottom too?Comment
