Re: Considering applying for F-1: currently frequently using VWP

That's good to know, thanks crg. How do you think playing poker would be viewed on F1? If not favourably, the slightly crazy thing is that I'm sure students are allowed to gamble when on F1 and in...

Tax will be an issue if I spend 6+ months, unfortunately, but it's a price I'm willing to pay.

Re: Considering applying for F-1: currently frequently using VWP

When at secondary, I always tell them I am a poker player and that's why I'm coming to the US. I avoid using the word 'professional', but it may have slipped out once or twice.

Slightly odd case.

I'm a full-time professional poker player who travels to Las Vegas for up to 6 months a year (usually through two 90 day trips) under the VWP. I love being in Las Vegas and...

This is golden, thanks Davita.

Haha, thanks HK. I thought Bali would be suggested :) Any suggestions on how I go about finding an apartment? The mountains won't be too far from the beach and social scene will it?

Re: Bike/Moped long term rental or purchase for UK citizen

Thanks Tim. My plan is to avoid the summer months in LV, so hopefully that won't be a problem.
