Passed ENG1 today which means it's only US visa to go until my offer from Maersk becomes unconditional. Anybody been through the process and can tell me what it involves? Seems hard to get info on it with it being an American thing. Also Saltydog if you're reading this please clear your inbox again :-P

Top and bottom of it is, don't look shifty, don't take electronics with you, be prepared to be ****ed around at the whim of the Americans, and take a book with you."Crazy like wild wolves threatened by fire, send them all to the bottom of the sea."

It's quite interesting to watch their constitution slowly and quietly being ripped up on the excuse of 'homeland security' and 'anti terrorism'. But that's for another thread
the great thing is, even after all this bureaucracy and hard work getting a visa, it's still down to the discretion of the block at the dock if you get a run ashore, and if he doesn't like the look of you, your ship, your shipmates or hasn't had sex in a while, you ain't getting ashore. Land of the free and all that..."Crazy like wild wolves threatened by fire, send them all to the bottom of the sea."
