API

I have just been on VA to input my API and a little bit confused as it asks am I staying in the US or on a flydrive. Please help what should I put?

Well it all depends on what your plans in the US are??

We have booked the trip independently, flying with virgin, car hired through dollar and then a villa in the Kissimmee area of orlando.

I'd just select 'Staying in the US' then. You will need to then enter your villa's full postal address.

Ok - you will then select that you are staying in the US, basically the API wants the accom info for your trip, if your doing a flydrive then you will only usually have to provide your first nights accom info (ISTBC though)

Neil:)

Thank you both for the info

On your US immigration paperwork, you should write either:

a) The full address of your first night's stay in the US, (or name of Hotel and City)
or,
b) "In transit to (place name)" if you are in transit to a destination outside the US the same day (I think it has to be within 8/12 hours).

I read somewhere that writing "Flydrive" will get you either a refused entry (if they are in a bad mood), secondary inspection (sit in a room for 2-3 hours, get asked some more questions), or sent to the back of the line with a new form to complete (if they are feeling in a good mood).

Cheers,
Mike

When you select 'fly drive' it just asks you which city are are going to be staying in.
