Ok the day started with me still not going to vegas but i was still keeping my appointment to get a new passport which takes 7 days as i was going to go on a small holiday somewhere anyway.
Went up and as all my details were in order and id never lost one before they processed it and gave me new passport in 4 hours instead of 7 days.
Got home and checked my emails and one from support at pokerroom (Fazlin) saying someone on their staff is american and didnt think it would be a problem and that theyd called the uk motoring agency who suggested they didnt think it would be a problem.
However my sources were the usa embassy in london and new york border patrol and my uncle had contacted the port authorities here and all said id need a full visa or i wouldnt get in so i wrote an email explaing this to pokerroom and at the end i said "before sending this i will make a few more calls to the embassy etc and double check"Embassy was closed so i called los angeles airport and asked to speak to the appropriate people.
I explained the situation to him and he said it would be no problem at all unless id been to jail or done community service which i havnt, he said this is what they mean by a conviction.
I was still nervous so i explained to him that it was considered a coviction if you been found guilty in a court here even if it was only 6 points on my license and a small fine i got.
Again he assured me they wernt interested in this and that i should tick "no" to convictions on the visa waiver form on the plane.
I asked if i could take his name for future reference incase of problems and he told me "there is no need we are the people who deal with this and these laws are the same all over the usa" :)
So its looking like vegas again :D
I will need to rebook my flights again as id cancelled them but that shouldnt be too much of a problem :D
