During the 19th and 20th centuries, 37 new states were added to the original 13 as the nation expanded across the North American continent and acquired a number of overseas possessions. The two most traumatic experiences in the nation's history were the Civil War (1861-65) and the Great Depression of the 1930s.

A U.S. visa grants you permission to travel to the United States to apply for admission. As a British resident, you'll be required to have one of these or you'll be forbidden entry to the country once you reach your destination - and once you've been refused entry to a nation, especially the U.S., further international travel becomes much more complicated (and it's quite likely you'll need to apply for a 'restricted' visa if you attempt to travel to the U.S. again) - you have been warned.
Also, bear in mind that the process for gaining a student or work visa in the United States is nowhere near as simple as it is for New Zealand or Australia. We suggest you keep the headache tablets on hand.
