From now on travellers to the USA have to either get a visa
or use a US Government website to get advance approval. Just coming from a
"visa waiver country" is no longer good enough.
The information site is:
http://www.cbp.gov/esta
... which links to the actual (secure) process site:
https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/
Note that a web search of ESTA may lead you to something like "esta.us"
which looks official, but is really a private company trying to charge
you money for a service that is the same as the free
government-provided service.
Having just tried out the system, I propose that we no longer have FtFs in
the USA.
