Re: Rugby gap year

Re: Rugby gap year
Yep! A B-2 visa application would be a grave mistake. According to wiki Under the category of temporary visitor for pleasure, a B2 visa can be used to: Travel within the US Visit family or friends Participate in activities of a fraternal, social, or service nature Obtain medical treatment Are these hard to obtain? |

Note also that there are only 2 possible outcomes when you apply for a visa: approval or denial. Everything that is not an approval is a denial... everything - including the officer telling you that you really don't need a B-2 visa because you're eligible for the VWP! Have you read some of the stories here from people who thought a B-2 would be a walk in the park but didn't get it? So, what's your risk tolerance for failure? Ian |
Re: Rugby gap year
Why? Because if you are eligible for the VWP, you're unlikely to get a B-2 visa. If you apply for a B-2 visa and it is denied, you must thereafter declare that visa denial on every subsequent visa application... including ESTA. If the B-2 is denied, you must update ESTA and that usually results in ESTA also being denied for at least 6 months. That'd probably put a damper on your travel plans.

Of course the yanks, being intelligent and discerning fellows, have adopted the splendid sport of rugby union, rather than the neanderthal borefest that is rugby league. |
Re: Rugby gap year
Are you kidding, league is the toughest sport in the world, union is touch and pass, sorry that would be too physical. I can believe its the fastest growing sport in America, cause the yanks are bunch of shandy drinking softies. Lol
