Polish national entry to the USA?

[AndyT77]

Planning on a family trip to Orlando next April. My missus who is a Polish national citizen is also coming, but has raised concerns regarding visas and entry to the US.

Any info? Yes i know google is my friend, just wondering if any of you worldly types have any useful info regarding such circumstances.

Polish nationals require a Visa

A former colleague had a Polish partner who was refused, seemingly because they were not married, in rented accommodation and she worked as a nanny - so as they said she had no strong, documented ties to the UK, it was enough reason for them to refuse. Couldn't appeal it AFAIK.

Seems like she has to apply via DX to the US Embassy in London, potentially has to go for an interview! On a similar note, my dad thinks we should fly from Dublin, as all the US immigration/security is done there, and so when you arrive in the US, it's a lot quicker. Anyone know anything about this?

It involves stopping in Dublin, which adds an hour or so to the trip. Not worth it IMO (unless you think you'll get refused entry, in which case you don't have to go all the way to the US to get turned away at the border).
