News / Poland- Visa Waiver Program [55]

BLS, but also US has a huge number of Korean population and they have now lifted the restrictions to Koreans. Also I am aware that Poles and Koreans were not elligable to apply for a green card.. so I would have thought that if the Koreans were included in the visa waiver program, Poland would be included too. Poland is the ONLY Eastern European country that joined EU in 2004, which was not included in the US visa waiver program. sad..

and Yes, how could US ask Poland for a premission to build a defense shield while they soley excluded Poland from the visa waiver program...
