Gday,
I've heard/read some horror stories of people being turned away at US
Customs/Immigration due to incorrect paperwork etc.
From what I understand I don't need a visa getting into the US on an
Australian passport (which has the new-style data chip in it).
However what do I tell them when I arrive? If I tell them I'm going there
for a lab with Cisco - could that be implied that it's "work" related and
subsequently require a visa of some kind?
I suppose I'm trying to get a feel from folks who have traveled to the US to
sit a lab and what they said to customs officials and wrote on their
immigration card.
To be honest I'm probably making a mountain out of an ant-hill re this but
last thing I'd want is to get turned away and miss my chance at sitting the
lab.
My wife is tagging along as well - she has the same style passport.
Cheers,
Con...
