Something that just occured to me,sorry Tony for sqeezing in :oops: but say i was to show up for this gig, do I need a passport to step onto U.S. soil now?

another thing to add to this, Say a persons got a criminal record, would they not allow that person into the states for that? and the crime in question has been dealt with too, someone told me this is fact, but I can't see it....

Generally they do have the right to deny you entry into the States if you have a criminal record. It's all up to the customs officer's discretion. I have heard of cases where people have gotten across with a really old or minor record. But for the most part, if you want to cross the border without any hassle try to get a pardon or exoneration if applicable. There seems to be a major crack down on this issue at the border which has increased my workload significantly!
