If you do choose to answer this question, your details are kept on record for 3 years and then stored in archives for an extra 12 years. During this time, law enforcement agencies can access it and share it with other countries as they see fit.

Nevertheless, the question is there, so now that you are armed with this information, you can choose whether or not you answer it!

Re: Sick of social media and search engines and other dumbing down processes

I think the questions on the ESTA form are a brilliant idea and should be adopted here and should be made compulsory, anyone found holding back information should be denied entry into the country.

Terrorists have been using the internet to co-ordinate operations through networks and should be monitored.

I agree completely, Bob.
I've seen the form but haven't ordered them yet. I'll wait until I book the holiday next month first then sort out all the other stuff.

These few gloom-laden detractors on this forum don't bother me. Me and the OH are very much looking forward to our holiday and we will enjoy it I'm sure. There's nothing that some miseries on here will do to put us off. How about they wish us a nice time instead?

You'll have a great time, most Americans are very friendly. Just watch that the immigration officers have zero sense of humour, while working anyway.

I agree with Ray Floydy, you'll have a brilliant time and I was surprised how welcoming and friendly all the Americans that we met were....

It could be, I don't know that, taking a well earned break is now very complicated, just sayin.

What do you mean, Spitty? I don't follow
Why should it be complicated?
I've just about had enough now.

Re: Sick of social media and search engines and other dumbing down processes

This thread seems to be suggesting that there is extra form filling than previously required.
