It could be, yes.


No.


There's no specific amount needed to apply for the visa. When you enter the US, however, the CBP officer may want to know... and at that point, you'll likely need access to sufficient funds for 3 people for as long as you intend to stay in the US.


Your son is eligible to enter the US on the VWP. He does not need a visa. His visit, however, will be limited to 90-days.


Probably, yes.

Why don't you contact them and find out for sure?

A manual passport is acceptable as a travel document to the United States, as long as the issuing country continues to accept it as valid. Although it is not acceptable for travel under the Visa Waiver Program, it may be used in conjunction with a valid U.S. visa.

However, you should be aware that there's an international agreement to end the use of manual passports after November 24, 2015. For example:
Pakistan Embassy in Beijing

Even if your passport has an expiry date after November 24, you need to obtain a new machine readable passport if you want to travel internationally after that date.

How are you still an Australian PR if you are "living in Canada"?

Re: US Tourist Visa for Canadian PR
 

Because an Australian pr visa is just that...Permanent. It's only the travel portion that expires.

Re: US Tourist Visa for Canadian PR
 

The consulate may be concerned about the short time in Canada and you may have to go though administrative processing.

Re: US Tourist Visa for Canadian PR
 

I would have thought it was also the second portion - for residents. I guess it looks like you have to stay out for 5 years or more to lose it.

Such differences also make it possible to be both a US PR and a CDN PR at the same time.
