Leaving the USA for 10 yrs when you have asylum

9/6/2019 1:43:39 PM Have a look at Asylee travel information (pdf), a fact sheet published by US Customs and Border Protection. You should apply for a refugee travel document. Unfortunately, I have not seen anything indicating how long such an application may be expected to take. If your family emergency is such that you don’t […]

Remaining in the US beyond VWP admission period

9/5/2019 8:27:01 PM To complement the great existing answers, I’ll briefly point out what happens if you overstay the visa waiver program (VWP). The information is taken and quoted from here: 1) Bad news: You will not be eligible for future entries under the VWP, but have to apply for a B-2 tourist visa (and […]

Where to go in (the vicinity of) Paris to find Art Nouveau antiques

8/16/2012 4:43:31 PM There should be a magasin for sale at almost every kiosk listing all brocantes, puces and the like. I forgot the name, but I got my first sample by just asking for it in at the local kiosk. You might also want to check Stade Charlety. If I recall correct, there should […]

Visa National – No Exit Stamp From France on Return to the UK

8/10/2019 5:54:28 PM No need to worry about this mishap. The Schengen Borders Code provides a mechanism with how to deal with this and what is acceptable evidence of having exited: The travel documents of non-EU nationals are systematically stamped upon entry and exit. If a travel document does not bear an entry stamp, it […]

Travelling to Canada while pregnant

8/13/2012 12:30:44 PM I think you’re not getting any answers because no such rules exist. I’ve travelled while pregnant-but-not-showing. I flew into the States at about 3 months, for example. I fly into the States or Canada (mostly from each other, but also from Europe, Africa, and Australia) many times a year. At no time […]

Airbnb hosts wants me to send pictures of all guests' IDs

8/10/2019 6:17:27 PM Just adding some extra context. Hosts must register guests to “Guests portal” in the official Police website https://alloggiatiweb.poliziadistato.it/PortaleAlloggiati/ so guests information is required. Hosts should check your ID upon arrival and insert those information in the “Guests portal”. It is illegal to ask for documents through email or photograph/scan/copy them unless they […]

What's the preferable option to book a flight?

8/9/2012 8:54:57 AM Obviously the main criterion is the price for the flight, some agents can sell the ticket much cheaper than the airline. Having said that, many airlines (European at least) make sure their web site prices are comparable to the travel agencies. When the ticket prices are the same, I usually buy from […]

Bringing coumarin-containing liquor into the USA

1/11/2020 2:21:01 AM Declare it, but don’t volunteer more information than you need to. The most likely consequence: “What are you declaring?” “This bottle of Polish vodka.” “That’s fine, have a nice day. Next!” Worst case, some eagle-eyed officer knows Zubrowka is not allowed and confiscates it, but it’s highly unlikely there would be any […]

Convenience stores in India

7/2/2019 1:19:11 PM There are ready to heat meals available in many shops and you can get things like upma poha etc (typical Indian food) as dehydrated meals that are reconstituted with hot water. What will happen if I checked in for another room in the same hotel, but not for the booked one? 7/4/2019 […]

How strict are European budget airlines in terms of enforcing hand luggage?

11/28/2015 1:17:59 AM Easyjet are generally very strict on the number of items you carry on board. Unless you’ve gone the “Easyjet Plus” route (via the card or the slightly more expensive seats which provide many other features, including dedicated check-in and faster boarding), you’re allowed only one item with you on board. That includes […]

What will happen if I checked in for another room in the same hotel, but not for the booked one?

12/15/2021 7:07:42 PM In my experience there are two possible explanations. The least likely one is that the person who checked you in does not understand the booking.com procedures. The more likely explanation is that the hotel is trying to save the amount of the commission due to booking.com. Bring the matter to the attention […]

Are there any ATM fees within the Euro zone?

8/6/2012 1:27:44 PM I live in the Netherlands. I used my Dutch card to withdraw money from ATMs in France, Italy and Germany. I have never paid anything for that…But it surely depends on your bank and on the country you are in. Where are you from? What time should we go to Times Square […]

How can I find out if I am admissible to the USA?

11/2/2019 10:10:20 PM Normally when you are residing in the US with conditional status, you can travel freely, but it is advised that you notify the USCIS of your travel plans prior. Your case is definitely exceptional given your prior history. You should consult a good immigration attorney, if you are worried rather than just […]

Canadian citizen who is presently in litigation with a US-based company

5/15/2019 6:23:51 PM No, because you haven’t committed (at least seemingly) any crime in the U.S. They can’t just request for you being tracked and sent in court for this thing. What does the "DS" in "DS-…" US visa application forms stand for? 5/15/2019 6:04:17 PM Personal service of court papers could be made while […]

Is there a list of the most-transited airports in the world?

5/7/2019 5:21:06 PM Some airports report themselves how many transfer passengers they have (or at least what’s the % of all passengers). E.g. Schiphol (AMS) had 71.053 million passengers in 2018, of which 36.6% were transfers, for a total of 26 million transited passengers. Heathrow claims a figure of 24 million transited passengers, 30% of […]

Return to UK after having been refused entry years ago

4/10/2019 3:58:57 AM Seven years ago you presented yourself at Heathrow as a US citizen and requested visa-free entry. Visa-free entry requires that you don’t work, and that you do not apply for public funds. It also assumes that you will leave the UK within a reasonable period of time. When questioned you announced your […]

Dual Citizen. Exited the US on Italian passport recently

4/9/2019 5:18:05 AM I’ve read that one must use their US passport to both enter and leave the country. Let’s read 8 USC § 1185(b) (Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, § 215(b)), “Travel Control of Aliens and Citizens”: Except as otherwise provided by the President and subject to such limitations and exceptions as the […]

Turkey transit visa for a stateless person?

8/3/2012 8:42:04 AM When in transit at Ataturk international airport, you do not pass through passport controls. Therefore, you would not need a transit visa. However, if you have to pick up your bags and re-check your bags, or if you have to move from Ataturk to Sahiba Gokcen (or vice versa), you will go […]
