Funnily enough, a chap I know went to Boston a couple of months ago,
for a six-month fellowship at Harvard. Couldn't get a visa appointment
in London within any reasonable time-scale so had to fly to Belfast
and stay overnight.

The last time I went to the States, only about a year and a half ago, you
didn't need a visa. Has this changed?

Were you going as a tourist or to a business meeting, and for no more than
three months?

Those are the usual qualifications for not needing a Visa.


So there are many reasons why someone might need a visa.
