Visas
Most visitors to the United States enter the country as tourists. With the introduction of visa free travel to citizens of 27 countries, it is now possible for many travelers, including British citizens, to enter the United States without a visa under the Visa Waiver Program (WVP).
This means that you can fill out a form on the flight over to the states - it's as easy as that (as long as you fill in the form correctly!)
However, if you're planning to stay in the states for more than 90 days you will need to schedule an appointment for an interview with a U.S. consular officer. Interviews are by appointment only. The Embassy does not accept walk-in applications. Click here to arrange an appointment with the US Embassy in the UK
