Immigration Services

Most visitors to the United States enter the country as tourists. With the introduction of visa waiver program (VWP) for citizens of 27 countries, it is now possible for many travelers, including British citizens, to enter the United States without a visa. Visa free travel is also available to qualified travelers who enter the United States on business or in transit.

Certain conditions must be met, for example a maximum stay of 90 days, valid British passport for at least 90 days, traveling for business, pleasure or transit. You must posses a return ticket home, and you must arrive by a sea or air carrier participating in the program.
If you have been denied a visa in the past you must provide strong evidence of your intention to leave the US. That may include documentation of strong economic ties to your home country. Expect to be questioned by immigration when you arrive.

You are also likely to be denied entry if you have a conviction or even arrest, communicable disease, refused admission, been deported, or overstayed the VWP. If you fall into this last group you will have to apply for a special restricted visa. We have all seen several famous rock stars being denied entry!

If you intend to stay for longer than 90 consecutive days as a tourist, or would like to live here permanently, work, open a business, or study here in Florida, you will need a visa.
There are many different types of visas available, too many to mention here on one page. But YourFloridaDreamHome.com works closely with a dedicated team of US immigration attorneys. They have several offices here in Florida and have an affiliate office in London for your convenience.

We strongly recommend anyone who intends to obtain a visa to get professional help from a specialist attorney, as this can save you time and money in the long run. There is no point in spending thousands of US Dollars on property or a business if you cannot use and enjoy it.
