In this video, I have some amazing news for the citizens of Poland. You have to watch
this video to find out what it is. So, see you on the other side. So this video, we have
some amazing news for citizens of Poland in particular, about a new change in the law
and a way for Polish people to come to the US. But before that, if you're here for the

you think, any questions, we are here for you. So in this video, we are announcing that
as of November 11, Poland has joined the Visa Waiver list of countries which means that
citizens of Poland can now come to the United States visa-free. What does it mean? So, the
Visa Waiver Program was established in 1986 for several countries. It’s about 39 countries
on that list. And what it is, it allows countries based on a mutual agreement between the US
and their country which works both ways to allow those people from those countries to
come to the United States up to 90 days. So, if you come with a tourist visa, and to get
a tourist visa, you have to go to the US Embassy, you have to pay a fee to get that visa, you
have to qualify. And many people actually get denied getting tourist visas, they can't
come to the United States. If you're a member of the Visa Waiver Program, you, of course,
apply online for the ESTA, it's a simple application. If all goes well, you get registered into
the Visa Waiver Program, also known as ESTA and now you can travel to the United States
visa-free. You just show up in the US, show your passport and they verify, and you’re
here. Now, the advantage of that is that people can just make easier travel plans, they don't
have to worry about extending or renewing their visas. What is really important is that
it's only 90 days. However, the difference between the Visa Waiver and the visa is that
once you come here on a Visa Waiver, you can’t really extend your stay. So, I know a lot
of people are excited about the Visa Waiver Program but what is important to know is that
once you here on a Visa Waiver, you cannot extend your stay. So, if somebody comes in
from Poland right now, trying to use that program, they can come obviously easily here
and stay for 90 days but if they want to change their status to go to school to be students,
or if they find a job and they want to get an H1B visa, you cannot change your status
in the United States. You actually have to go home, back to Poland, and apply for a visa
for whatever that is that you want to be doing in the US. But there are a lot of amazing
opportunities with the Visa Waiver problem. You don't have to really plan for an interview
for a visa, you can come to the US spontaneously, whenever you want. You're able to spend some
time here without worrying about paying for visa fees. And the most amazing part of it
is that it opens opportunities for people from Poland that were not able before to get
visas to now come to the United States. Some people just couldn't afford it. Some people
didn't have ties necessarily to qualify for a visa. Some younger people that were not
qualified under Section 214b are now going to be able to come on the Visa Waiver. Again,
as long as you don't violate the rules and you don't have any other issues that will
prohibit you from coming in, most people are going to be able to come in and experience
the United States, visit places they always dreamed about. And we're excited about this
opportunity, to have this collaboration with Poland because, again, there's going to be
a lot of opportunities for younger people, for business people that didn't want to apply
for a visa before to be able to come and be in the United States. So again, the Visa Waiver
is part of this… there are many, many countries that are part of it. A lot of European countries
are part of it. A lot of European countries are also not part of it. For example, Cyprus
and Romania are still not on the list, and they're really upset about it. And we hope
that they'll also join because, again, the Visa Waiver, the visa-free Travel Program
is an amazing opportunity for countries to be able to… for people from those countries
to come to the United States and experience this country and the same thing for Americans
who are traveling to those countries without a visa. Again, having visa-free travel is
kind of what we hope the world will be one day. But right now, we can experience that
under the Visa Waiver Program. So again, we are excited to announce that as of November
11, citizens of Poland can come to the United States visa free under the Visa Waiver Program.
They can stay here For 90 days but they cannot change their status. And they have to return
to their home countries at the end of their sta. Again, it doesn't mean they have to stay
here for the full 90 days. But the idea is that they can stay here for up to 90 days.
And once again, I mean, we feel that this is an amazing step in the right direction
towards Poland. Right now, we've seen an increase in Polish people that are coming to the United
States to invest, to study, to start businesses. And this is just going to be an amazing opportunity
for more growth. And again, we have a lot of clients that have companies in Poland that
are providing outsourcing. And now, with this program, back and forth, people are going
to come here to the United States bringing business to both countries. So once again,
Visa Waiver Program, Poland is on the list as of November 11. Welcome, welcome. And again,
