Hmm thanks

hi all,

Apologies if this has already been answered. Have tried to search through this pretty long thread. I am a UK Citizen and US LPR (just renewed my green card for another 10 years) Living in California. My husband is a UK Citizen and we haven't seen each other in over a year now. He has a flight booked for June 10th and from what we can see he should be exempt from the Presidential Proclamation. He has a copy of my green card and passport, a copy of our marriage certificate, and copy of our property taxes which show both names. We believe his ESTA is still valid. Has anyone else been though this? Does anyone know if the documents listed will be sufficient for him to gain entry into the US? He has been fully vaccinated at this point.

Any advise very gratefully received.

many thanks.

That’s all you need. Avoid checking in online. Safe travels!

It has been more than 10 years since I used ESTA / VW, did they take away the online function to check if it’s still valid? You had to go there to update the address you were visiting and make any other changes where required.

If still available that would probably be the best place to check it’s valid, and probably bette than guessing considering the cost of all the tests etc.

If travelling on an L1 Visa, I guess this is not an issue?

I would be inclined to give it a miss and avoid possible issues. Bo not know for certain.

Can E2 Visa holders cross the land border from Mexico to US? I read some restriction until 10/21 but not sure whether that applies to E2?

I believe you can get a NIE as an L2 without the L1 traveling with you as my friends did it this summer. The L1 was already living here and the spouse and child L2 came out later on their own after getting the NIE.

I'm planning a trip back to the UK in December, seems to be all good news now with only a day 2 test to enter the UK and pre-departure test to return to the US.

One thing I noticed on the UK.gov site is that for the USA vaccination CDC card to be recognised, you must prove residency in the USA. That's easy enough for a USC/GC but what about myself on an L-1B visa? Is the visa itself enough to prove that or would some other proof of address be required? There's no further details on the site and it's hard to Google.

" CDC card showing you’ve had a full course of an FDA-approved vaccine in the USA plus proof that you are a resident of the USA."

A USC could be UK resident. Maybe a US driving lisence, lease/Mortgage statement, utility bill, tax return etc would be acceptable.

That's true, I may try and get in contact with them to check.

Any experiences of this as a non-immigrant resident in the US would be appreciated.

we plan the same in DEC 16-31.
I (we) do not have a valid visa stamp (no interviews etc) So we plan to use our I-797A approvals and I-94 record., plus the out of date visa!.
we also have a US baby with US passport. (sounds like we stole it )
