RE: [xmca] Online registration to be required for visa-free travel to U.S to be used after 12.1.2009

Probably NOT good news, although all this says is that the application has to be on line. However, that will be hard for some people, and is therefore bad news.

Is there anything I can do to help?

good news?

the new US visa requirements will be demanded january 2009

“DHS will begin accepting applications via a secure Internet site on August
1, and will require visitors to use the Internet system beginning January
12, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said. The move will help
U.S. authorities vet foreign visitors, he said.

The requirement does not apply to U.S. citizens traveling overseas.”
