Travel to USA from UK

[rajeshppv]

Hi,

Can you please help me with the below query:

 

I am on Indian passport from birth till 2007. I have attained British passport in 2007.

when I have Indian passport I applied for an entry to USA as Student and H1B visa, however these got rejected in 2001 and 2004.

(rejection stamps are only in Indian passport)

Can I travel to USA for a holiday with out any visa? or as I have a rejection on my profile do I need to apply for visa?

 

Thanks

Rajesh

@omshiv: Do not UK citizens have visa waiver program to enter US for 6 months? Is that what you mean?

I meant..he'll get Visa at POE...and does not need to apply for one at US Consulate.

@ omshiv: He would be allowed entry and not visa at POE as visa is issued only at US consulates. I know it was a typo error. Just kidding ;)

If you were refused a visa under Section 212(a) of the Immgiration and Nationality Act (INA)you are not eligible to travel visa free. If your refusal was under Section 214(b) or 221(g) INA, you visit the may register under ESTA, declaring the refusal. If travel authorization is denied, you will be required to apply for a visa.
