We already have our tickets to Poland for mid June to August. I've been 8 times but it's been almost a decade since I've been back, 1st time for my kids. I'm hearing the EU is possibly going to end Visa Free Travel for the USA . . .because the U.S. doesn't allow citizens of Cyprus, Poland, Croatia, Bulgaria, and Romania, to visit the US under the visa waiver program. Due to this unequal treatment of EU citizens, the European Parliament is urging similar restrictions against US citizens . . . . My question is: When will this take affect? Immediately or not for a few months or next year? I'm hearing so many conflicting responses on this.
Also, how much would it then cost? Will I have enough time to apply/get approved if its immediate or did I just buy 5 plane tickets I can't use? Etc. Any knowledge on this matter is helpful and welcomed. Thank you.
BTW, I don't have a problem with this, in fact it's over due and I'm hoping pride won't get in the way and they can work something out as they should have years ago, however, I really wish it wouldn't effect my travel plans this summer since I haven't seen my family in too long and my kids were looking forward to finally meeting the rest of the family.
