Work Visa

[mandysev]

Hi
Thought I would pick everyones brains about something that is worrying me.
My DH has a work visa for the US on his passport, when we went in 2002 immigration questioned him about it but accepted he was only visiting for a holiday.
This time I am a little worried that we may be held up at MCO whilst he is photographed and fingerprinted.
Can anyone advise of recent experiences.

I've got a work visa (class A2) and have not had any problems when using the Visa Waiver Programme when on holiday in the US. Last couple of times I was in the US (Easter and October 2003) the Immigration agent did ask about it, but I said I wasn't using to to enter the US as I was on holiday. This was accepted without any problems or further questions. I normally get questioned about this visa as it is a diplomatic visa rather than the standard business visa - I think that my colleagues who have business visas have not been asked when going on holiday.

I wish! It's from when I worked at the House of Commons, and has no use whatsoever now that I've left.

LOL! Do you have interchangeable licence plates on your DB7, too?

No, but I am very careful about the red button on the gear stick.
