Travel Tips to America

Are you visiting America for the first time? It is exciting and thrilling isn't

it? Can't blame you for that good feeling because if you have been issued travel

documents to enter the US, you are one of the lucky ones!

Imagine, there are millions of people all around the world who wish to visit the

United States of America but more than two-thirds of those who applied for a US

visa are denied for some reasons! So congratulate yourself that you have your US

visa.

Always remember that having a visa is not the end of your struggle to have one.

It is just the beginning of more thrills ahead. For one thing, as you enter the

United States of America, you will go through the port of entries where

immigration officials will still determine if you can come in through the doors of

the country. If you got your visa fraudulently, you can be caught and be

deported!

If you are coming to the US as a tourist, the immigration officers at the port of

entry will also determine how long you will be granted to stay in the US.

Legally, you are only allowed to stay in the US only on the amount of time you are

granted by the immigrations officers. If you overstay, you become an over staying

alien and would be subject to possible deportation. However, you may apply for an

extension of stay. Your application for extension, however, does not guarantee

approval.

Remember, if you come to the US only as a tourist, you are simply regarded as a

visitor. Having a tourist


visa does not grant you a working permit. This means

that a tourist is never allowed to work anywhere in the US.

Since you are visiting the US as a tourist, enjoy your vacation as there are lots

of places to go where you will really enjoy. When you go places, if you have a

credit card, you can make an online hotel

reservations
. All you need is an access to a computer with internet access.

If you plan to have long travels within the US, public transportation is available

either by bus or air transportation. In the US mainland, the Greyhound Bus

Company provides interstate bus transportation. The only exception is if you plan

to go to Hawaii or Alaska.

If going by air, a lot of airline companies are available. An

online. Air travel can bring you to any of the 50 states of the USA.

Well, welcome to America!
