Alreeeet peeps.
I am from the U of K and I am planning a on doing the Thru hike this April. Last night I was up late researching Visas and from what I have read on Whiteblaze I think I need a B2 visa.
I think I understand the process of filling in the online application form (DS160) and then arranging an intereview etc.
Can anyone let me know who long this process is likely to take??
On filling out my visa appliaction form (DS160) they ask all manner of questions. They ask for a US point of contact. I have emailled the Appalachina Trail Conservancy to see if I can use them as a POC, as I don't know any peeps in the states.
Any advice here would be greatly appreciated on how other brits have got round this problem. Is there anyone else I could put down??
Under the "Travel information" section of the application I have put down the Hiker hostel for where I will stay in the US.
This is a service that picks peeps up from the airport in Atlanta and then takes them to the trail via an overnight stay at their hostel. Sounds like a great service and they are happy for brits to us their address for the bit of the application. Has anyone else done this? Is it sufficient to only feature the first place that you will stay at the start of the journey??
I am new to WB so please don't shoot me down in flames. I just wanna hit that friggin trail and if you have any advice that will help me with these final logistical schnizzlers then that would be well received.
Kind Regards,
Fletchlives.
