Holiday Visa To The Usa

[cfrmatt]

Help needed Please, Me and my Thai wife are married and live in the UK.

My wife has indefinite leave to remain and is permanent residence in the UK (No UK Passport Just Visa). We have a two year old child who has a UK passport and we are looking at going to the US for a two week holiday with our child and grandparents (UK) next year...What is needed for my wife to go ie Visa and how to go about obtaining one...Your advice would be very much appreciated.

Your Thai wife will need a U.S. visa, start here for that: http://london.usembassy.gov/cons_new/visa/index.html

You and your other UK citizen relatives are most likely eligible for the U.S. Visa Waiver Program. For details, check here:

and here: http://london.usembassy.gov/cons_new/visa/niv/vwp3.html

Be SURE to check the passports of all UK citizens that they are fully machine readable:
