<h4 class="sub-heading ">The climate</h4>
<p>San Francisco is the most populous city in the homonymous bay, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and has a population of approximately 7 million people. San Francisco Bay provides the city with an almost Mediterranean climate, with four distinct seasons. Despite the frequent rains, temperatures remain mild in winter, which tend to decrease with the arrival of spring.</p>
<p>The summer, however, is the best time to visit the city. Temperatures rise during this period, rarely exceeding a maximum of 28 degrees, and the climate becomes drier. The light morning fog that characterises summer days is undoubtedly one of San Francisco’s peculiarities.</p>
<p>Consider the temperature range when packing your suitcase: in the summer, temperatures can drop dramatically at night and early in the morning.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-4" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Where is San Francisco located ?</h4>
<p>Perhaps not everyone is aware that the city is built on a series of hills. In fact, San Francisco rises between 50 hills, which give rise to many of the city’s districts. Because of its proximity to the San Andreas fault, the city and its surrounding area are particularly vulnerable to earthquakes and seismic movements.</p>
<p>If you plan to explore the city on foot, be prepared for frequent descents and ascents. In any case, we recommend that you wear comfortable shoes, including at least one pair of closed shoes in case of rain or a drop in temperature.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-5" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Attractions San Francisco: neighborhoods, bridges and museums not to be missed</h4>
<p>San Francisco is regarded as one of the United States’ cultural capitals. Indeed, the diversity of its population is immediately apparent, which has undoubtedly contributed to its fame.</p>
<p>To summarise, only 55% of the city’s residents speak English as their first language, according to a recent census. When at home, the majority of the population speaks their native language, which could be Chinese, Spanish, or Russian.</p>
<p>San Francisco’s cultural diversity is complemented by its residents’ open-mindedness and tolerance. Indeed, movements such as the anti-Vietnam War or the Hippie movement arose right here.</p>

<p>This bridge has become a symbol of the city since it was completed in 1937. It was the world’s longest suspension bridge at the time, connecting the Pacific Ocean to San Francisco Bay. The orange colour, also known as international orange, was chosen to allow for greater visibility even in foggy conditions.</p>
<p>The bridge is always open to the public, and it can be crossed by car or on foot. If, on the other hand, you want to photograph it, we recommend that you go to the following panoramic points:</p>
<ul>
<li>Crissy Field, one of the city’s most beautiful spots;</li>
<li>Fortress Point;</li>
<li>Baker’s Beach</li>
<li>Golden Gate Outlook, possibly the best location for photographs.</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-9" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">BAY BRIDGE</h4>
<p>The Bay Bridge, considered the second bridge in San Francisco, was completed in 1936 and connects San Francisco and Oakland. This suspension bridge, which also offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding area, should be photographed and, why not, visited.</p>

<p>This neighbourhood was once the financial centre of California, and it is still the economic hub of the entire bay. San Francisco is home to six Fortune 500 companies, which is not surprising. If you enjoy shopping, luxury hotels, and fine dining, this is the San Francisco neighbourhood for you.</p>
<p>We recommend that you visit:</p>
<ul>
<li>Union Square, the city’s central square, is home to numerous hotels, beauty salons, and luxury boutiques. Many Broadway-style venues can also be found around the square.</li>
<li>In San Francisco, the Transamerica Pyramid, also known as the Empire State Building, is well worth a visit. It is the city’s tallest building, built in 1972, and offers a breathtaking view.</li>
<li>The Exploratorium is an interactive technological-scientific museum ideal for those travelling with children or simply interested in this field.</li>
<li>The Ferry Building, with its clock tower, is one of the city’s most recognisable structures. Stop here for a delicious lunch and to admire the Bay Bridge.</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-13" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">CHINATOWN: A CORNER OF ASIA IN CALIFORNIA</h4>
<p>In reality, the city has four Chinatowns, but the one on Grant Avenue is unquestionably the most distinctive, as well as the largest outside of Asia. The neighbourhood, which was founded in 1848 and is located near the financial district, now covers 3.5 square kilometres. Here are some things to do in Chinatown:</p>
<ul>
<li>the Tien Hau temple, the neighborhood’s oldest Taoist temple, which stands out for its bright colours;</li>
<li>The Dragon Gate of Chinatown San Francisco is a real Asian-style gate that opens between Bush Street and Grant Avenue and is located five minutes from Union Square.</li>
<li>the Sing Chong, one of Chinatown’s most distinctive and oldest structures, as well as one of the city’s most photographed;</li>
<li>The oldest church in California is Old St. Mary’s Church, which was built in 1854 specifically to spread Catholicism in the city’s Chinatown.</li>
<li>Portsmouth Square is Chinatown’s main square, and it is frequently the site of cultural events and demonstrations. There are numerous plaques, statues, and monuments here for a reason.</li>
<li>Stockton Street is the neighborhood’s shopping street, where you can find clothing as well as fruits, vegetables, and food.</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-14" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">RUSSIAN HILL SAN FRANCISCO: THE MOST FAMOUS STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO</h4>
<p>This neighbourhood is undeniably one of San Francisco’s most distinctive, and its history is no less interesting. Located on the same-named hill, not far from Chinatown, this area was used in the 1800s by Russian merchants looking for gold to bury their companions who died en route. The first settlers named the neighbourhood Russian Hill after discovering tombstones engraved in Cyrillic here.</p>
<p>If you happen to be passing by Russian Hill, you cannot miss:</p>
<ul>
<li>Filbert Street, with a gradient of 31.5%, is the steepest street in the city and one of the most immortalised by directors who choose to film in San Francisco.</li>
<li>Macondray Lane is a very narrow paved street with dense vegetation resembling a small forest. Its unusual appearance has also influenced the imagination of writers such as Armistad Maupin, who created an imaginary street inspired by Macondray Lane in his Tales of San Francisco.</li>
<li>Lombard Street is most likely one of the city’s most recognisable landmarks. In fact, the eight hairpin bends along this road are well-known. The construction of these winding curves to replace the original steep paving was requested by the residents of the area. Later, flower beds and flowers were added to the hairpin bends.</li>
</ul>

<p>This neighbourhood, known as one of the most upscale and affluent in the entire city, isn’t just synonymous with luxury and glitz. His story is, in fact, quite intriguing. The name “Nob” is derived from the word “nabob,” a term used by Indians to describe the English who became wealthy as a result of the India Company’s activities.</p>
<p>The neighborhood’s first residents arrived during the mid-nineteenth-century gold rush.</p>
<p>The residents of this area were actually wealthy, and after becoming dissatisfied with the steepness of the hill, which can reach 24.8%, they decided to establish their own cable car company. They were able to move more easily through the neighbourhood streets this way.</p>
<ul>
<li>The following are the main attractions in this area:</li>
<li>The San Francisco Cable Car Museum (or Cable Car Museum) is more than just a museum; it is also the command centre for the city’s cable car system. We recommend that you go not only because it is one of the city’s symbols, but also because it is the world’s only operational cable car system.</li>
<li>Grace Cathedral is the largest Episcopal cathedral on the United States’ West Coast. Visit it to admire the Gothic architecture and the interior, which is decorated with beautiful stained glass windows.</li>
<li>Huntington Park is the neighborhood’s green lung, a great place to get some fresh air or rest after walking around the city.</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-17" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Visit San Francisco : other attractions and places of interest</h4>
<p>In addition to the distinctive neighbourhoods already mentioned, there are numerous other interesting places worth visiting throughout the city. San Francisco never ceases to amaze, from museums to historic landmarks and locations.</p>
<p>Here are the ones we’ve chosen for you:</p>
<ul>
<li>The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, located in the Yerba Buena neighbourhood, is ideal for those interested in modern art. Among the 30,000 pictorial, photographic, video, and design works on display at this museum are works by Andy Wahrol, Jackson Pollock, Henri Matisse, and Paul Klee.</li>
<li>Alcatraz, where Al Capone was also imprisoned, is undoubtedly one of the most famous prisons in the world. This prison was purpose-built in the Bay on an island known as The Rock to reduce the possibility of escape. Due to high management costs, the prison was closed in 1969, just over thirty years after it opened, due to its isolated location. It is now possible to visit it on guided tours that depart daily from the San Francisco coast.</li>
<li>The Coit Tower is not only one of the city’s viewpoints, but also a symbol of San Francisco culture. Inside, there are murals depicting scenes from everyday life as well as passages from Karl Marx’s writings, all dating from the years following the Great Depression.</li>
<li>Fisherman’s Wharf was once a shady dock area. Today, however, it is one of the city’s most important and visited landmarks. The sea lions that can usually be seen at Pier 39 attract thousands of tourists. Those travelling with children will also be able to enjoy museums, water shows, and other family-friendly attractions. Adults will undoubtedly enjoy the numerous shops and restaurants in this area.</li>
<li>Muir Woods is a forest of giant sequoias located on the outskirts of San Francisco, making it an ideal stop for nature lovers. The Hollywood film “Planet of the Apes” was shot right among the forest’s thousand-year-old trees.</li>
</ul>

</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-19" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Car, subway, tram or on foot? How to best enjoy the city</h4>
<p>Here are some pointers for getting around San Francisco. With all of these attractions to see and the unique hilly terrain, it is critical to choose your mode of transportation carefully when visiting San Francisco.</p>
<ul>
<li>car: Unless you want to go on a road trip around San Francisco, we strongly advise against renting a car. As previously stated, the hilly terrain can be intimidating, and traffic can be difficult to navigate. If you absolutely must travel by car, Uber is the way to go.</li>
<li>Trains and subways are both convenient and quick modes of transportation, but their stops may not be ideal for tourists.</li>
<li>There are numerous cable cars and streetcars in San Francisco. These modes of transportation are extremely efficient and are unquestionably appropriate for tourists. The trams in the city stop near all major attractions. The ticket can be purchased directly on board the vehicle for $2.50, with children under the age of 5 travelling for free. The city’s cable car network also passes through important areas, but the ride costs $7.</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-image-element " style="text-align:center;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);"><span class=" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-6 hover-type-none"><img decoding="async" width="640" height="426" title="Cable Car" src="https://estatousa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Tram-SF.jpg" alt class="img-responsive wp-image-39333" srcset="https://estatousa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Tram-SF-200x133.jpg 200w, https://estatousa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Tram-SF-400x266.jpg 400w, https://estatousa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Tram-SF-600x399.jpg 600w, https://estatousa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Tram-SF.jpg 640w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></span></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-20" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><p style="text-align: center;">Cable Car – symbol of San Francisco</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-21" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><p>If possible, we recommend exploring the city on foot. That’s right, you’ll be able to fully appreciate the atmosphere of the city and, more importantly, visit all of the areas and attractions that are inaccessible by public transportation.</p>

<p>The city in northern California provides visitors with a diverse range of attractions. From the cultural effervescence associated with the adjacent Silicon Valley to a consolidated cultural scene associated with its theatres, museums, galleries, and 1968 permanencies. From iconic sights like the Golden Gate Bridge and the Cable Cars to ethnic neighbourhoods like Chinatown, San Francisco has a lot to offer.</p>
<p>Check that you have a valid ESTA authorization as well as the all-important health insurance for travelling to the United States before packing your suitcase. Have a safe journey!</p>

<p>Frequent flyers are used to packing and confidently load their hand bags for the flight. However, whether you are travelling for the first time or have never travelled for an extended period of time, it is natural to have some reservations about what you can and cannot carry on an aircraft.</p>
<p>The laptop is frequently at the core of these concerns, since more and more individuals are required to bring it with them to work, even when travelling. Other electronic gadgets, such as tablets or e-books, as well as their attachments, such as headphones and chargers, raise similar concerns.</p>
</div></div></div></div></div><div class="fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-8 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling" style="--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;" ><div class="fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap" style="max-width:1331.2px;margin-left: calc(-4% / 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% / 2 );"><div class="fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-7 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column" style="--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:10px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:10px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;"><div class="fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column"><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-25" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Can I take my PC on an airplane? Rules and precautions</h4>
<p>In a nutshell, the answer is yes. In truth, with a few caveats that we shall discuss later, it is perfectly legal to travel with your computer in hand luggage when flying.</p>
<p>If you must travel with your laptop for any reason, we recommend that you take the following precautions:</p>
<ol>
<li>Keep your device charged: At the airport, electronic devices may be subject to spot inspections during security procedures. In fact, employees may request that you switch on the computer to ensure that it is not an explosive device. If this is unable to switch on owing to a lack of charge, more testing may be necessary.</li>
<li>Check the list of prohibited items frequently: in fact, several laptop models have been prohibited on flights to or from the United States since June 2019. Due to a fault that causes the battery to overheat and potentially catch fire, these are the 15-inch MacBook Pros sold between September 2015 and February 2017. The following airlines and flights either completely or partially restrict carriage:
<ul>
<li>Flights to and from the United States: neither in the hold nor in carry-on;</li>
<li>TUI Group Airlines, Air Transat, Singapore Airlines, and Thai Airways: neither in the hold nor in hand luggage.</li>
<li>Other flights within the European Union: carriage is permissible as long as the gadget is turned off;</li>
<li>All 15-inch MacBook Pros (including ones manufactured on separate dates) are restricted on Qantas and Virgin Australia, both in the hold and in hand baggage.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Bring chargers and adapters: they are not forbidden items on airlines, but are necessary components for using your laptop, especially if you are travelling to the United States. Remember that the sockets are not the same as those used in Europe.</li>
<li>Check the airline’s luggage allowance: it varies from company to business. Some airlines permit the carriage of two pieces of hand luggage: a purse or laptop bag and a trolley. Others, on the other hand, simply permit the transportation of hand baggage. Furthermore, the metrics frequently differ from one organisation to the next. You must stow the computer in your bag if you just have carry-on luggage.</li>
<li>Prepare for security checks: you will most likely be asked to take the computer out of your backpack or carry-on bag. As most airports require electronic devices bigger than a cell phone to be segregated from the rest of your luggage during security checks, make sure your computer is easily accessible.</li>
<li>Make sure your computer is appropriately secured throughout transportation: even if you carry your hand baggage with you, little shocks and turbulence might harm your gadget. We recommend utilising a laptop bag if the airline permits two cabin baggage. If not, put it in a protective fabric case before putting it in the cart.</li>
<li>Always obey the instructions of the flight attendants: even though the ENAC hand baggage regulation allows you to bring your computer on the plane, its transportation is still governed by laws. In reality, the captain or the aircraft crew can request that electronic gadgets be switched off at any moment. While you may almost always use your mobile phone in aeroplane mode, some airlines restrict you to turn off and stow your computer during takeoff and landing.</li>
<li>Check the availability of an internet connection on your flight: it will be impossible to connect to the internet using the data on your tablet or mobile phone during the trip. However, some firms provide the option of accessing Wi-Fi on board. This service is occasionally free, occasionally charged, and occasionally entirely missing. If you need to bring your computer on the airline in your hand luggage to work, we recommend informing yourself ahead of time about the availability of this option on board.</li>
<li>Usage aeroplane mode: PC use is permitted for the majority of the trip. You must, however, maintain your computer on aeroplane mode. If your device does not have that mode, check sure all current bluetooth connections are disconnected. This is also true for tablets and mobile phones.</li>
</ol>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-26" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">What can you bring in your hand luggage besides your computer?</h4>
<h4 class="sub-heading ">Electronic items permitted to fly to the USA</h4>
<p>If you enjoy technology and want to bring additional gadgets on the journey in addition to your laptop, or if you don’t want to bring your computer because it is too large, know that other electronic things are permitted on the plane. These are some examples:</p>
<ul>
<li>Tablets and mobile phones: these goods are definitely authorised in flight and are especially advised if you are flying to the United States and wish to view movies or listen to music. You should use them in aeroplane mode, just like your computer, and switch them off when requested. Keep in mind that the tablet must be kept separate from the luggage during security inspections.</li>
<li>ebook reader: If you enjoy reading and are unsure what to bring to America on a journey, we recommend packing an ebook reader in your hand baggage (Kindle and similar). Books and periodicals, in particular, are heavy and can significantly increase the weight of hand baggage. By reading in electronic format, you may carry as many books and periodicals as you like with you while saving space.</li>
<li>Power banks (portable memory for computers): Although these products can be transported in hand luggage, they are not authorised if checked baggage is checked. In the cabin, each passenger may bring up to two power banks with a maximum capacity of 100 Wh. Authorization from the airline is required for power banks with capacities ranging from 100 to 160 Wh. Higher capacity power banks are prohibited from being carried on an aircraft.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you are asked to check in your hand luggage, remove the power bank and any other lithium battery products from the suitcase before giving it over to the crew.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-27" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Electronic devices prohibited in flight to the USA</h4>
<p>On flights to the United States or the United Kingdom, there is a unique category of electronic gadgets that cannot be transported in hand baggage. This list is the outcome of the Electronic Ban, which was implemented in 2017 to regulate the use of tablets and PCs on flights from the following countries:</p>
<ul>
<li>Turkey</li>
<li>Egypt</li>
<li>Jordan</li>
<li>Kuwait</li>
<li>Lebanon</li>
<li>Tunisia</li>
<li>Saudi Arabia</li>
<li>Qatar</li>
<li>United Arab Emirates</li>
</ul>
<p>Tablets and PCs, in any case, are included in what can be taken on the plane, even flights departing from these nations. All you have to do is place these electronic items in your checked luggage.</p>
<p>In order to assist its clients, several firms affected by this new legislation have already taken efforts to raise the weight permitted for checked luggage. In any event, we recommend that you weigh your luggage before arriving at the airport.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that the Electronic Ban applies to all aircraft departing from these countries, even if you are merely stopping for a layover or if the United States or the United Kingdom are not your final destination.</p>

Advantages and disadvantages of bringing the computer to America</h4>
<p>Just because you may bring laptops and other electronic gadgets on a plane doesn’t mean you have to pack them in your carry-on bag while visiting the United States. As we shall see, carrying your laptop with you might be beneficial, but there are certain precautions you should take.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-29" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Advantages of bringing your computer with you to the USA</h4>
<ol>
<li>Work from anywhere: If you don’t want to miss anything that happens in the office while you’re gone, or if you need to work while travelling, we recommend that you carry your PC with you. You actually don’t have a choice.</li>
<li>Watch your favourite movies and listen to your favourite music: trips to the United States are famously long, and it’s easy to become bored. Fortunately, the laptop is one of the items that may be brought into the United States. Download movies, TV shows, and music before you go, and you won’t be bored in the air.</li>
<li>You won’t have to worry about running out of memory: if you’re visiting the United States for pleasure, chances are you’ll want to take some photos. You may avoid running out of memory by carrying your computer with you and downloading images from your camera or cell phone to your PC.</li>
<li>You will have access to crucial and valuable information for your trip: it is now feasible to perform anything that a computer would do using a smartphone. It is indisputable, however, that reading on a laptop screen is far more pleasant than reading on a mobile phone screen. With your PC, you may read up on attractions and points of interest in your target city, download maps, and purchase tickets and museum admission.</li>
</ol>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-30" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Disadvantages of carrying laptop in hand luggage</h4>
<ol>
<li>Weight and size: As previously stated, not all airlines allow travellers to bring two pieces of hand baggage. If this is the case, your computer may take up valuable space and weight within your carry-on luggage. If you don’t intend to use it, or if you don’t absolutely need it, bringing a tablet or ebook reader may be preferable.</li>
<li>Safety of your belongings: You may have to disconnect from your computer during the journey. In fact, there may not be enough space in the overhead locker next to your seat, and you may have to get up to use the restroom. Even when you get at the hotel, you must place the computer in the safe.</li>
<li>You should also pack an adaptor because power outlets differ between the United States and Europe. Aside from the extra size, keep in mind that not all adapters are compatible with PC chargers.</li>
</ol>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-31" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Computers in hand luggage and prohibited objects on the plane: travel with peace of mind</h4>
<p>You have nothing to worry about if you need to bring your laptop on the airline. As we’ve seen, not only can it be carried in hand luggage, but it can also be used in flight. However, remember to always follow the flight attendants’ recommendations.</p>
<p>In fact, they will notify you if you are unable to use the computer, such as during takeoff or landing. Similarly, using the PC and other electronic devices in aeroplane mode is recommended.</p>
<p>There is, without a doubt, a huge list of forbidden things on board aeroplanes, but this is primarily made up of dangerous stuff that none of us would ever consider bringing on a trip.

Its famous assemblage of majestic structures and monuments, clustered around the National Mall, has played home to numerous historic events, marches, and speeches.

<p>In this essay, we will look at how Washington DC came to be, how it was planned, and how it evolved to become the nation’s metaphorical heart.</p>

<p>After the word Washington, the acronym DC denotes the district to which the city belongs, also known as the District of Columbia. As a result, it serves to identify the district of Washington from the city itself. Furthermore, it distinguishes the federal capital, its district, and the state of Washington, which shares a border with British Columbia, Canada.</p>
<p>The states of Maryland and Virginia each ceded territory to construct the Federal District of Columbia, which was formalised on July 16, 1790, with the signing of the Residence Act. It too has a land area of less than 200 km2, borders the Potomac River, and is organised into four quadrants, with the Campidoglio in the centre:</p>
<ul>
<li>Capitol Avenue North;</li>
<li>Capitol Avenue East;</li>
<li>South Capitol Avenue;</li>
<li>Mall.</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-36" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">History of Washington DC</h4>
<p>The city was created in 1791 and was named after America’s first president, George Washington. The ultimate purpose was to serve as the capital of the newly independent country, which had declared independence 15 years before.</p>
<p>The United States Constitution permitted the establishment of a city that would serve as the permanent residence of the country’s government and would be independent of any state.</p>
<p>George Washington chose a location on the Potomac River on the country’s east coast as the site for the new capital as a result of a compromise between northern and southern officials.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-37" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Washington map and city planning</h4>
<p>Washington commissioned French engineer Peter Charles L’Enfant to develop and outline the modern capital.</p>
<p>The engineer’s design, heavily influenced by his birthplace Paris, was a grid of overlapping streets with large diagonal avenues emanating from ceremonial plazas.</p>
<p>The United States Capitol building, which L’Enfant defined as a “pedestal awaiting a monument,” was central to the idea.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-image-element " style="text-align:center;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);"><span class=" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-9 hover-type-none"><img decoding="async" width="640" height="436" title="Campidoglio di Washington DC" src="https://estatousa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/campidoglio-washington.jpg" alt class="img-responsive wp-image-38935" srcset="https://estatousa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/campidoglio-washington-200x136.jpg 200w, https://estatousa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/campidoglio-washington-400x273.jpg 400w, https://estatousa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/campidoglio-washington-600x409.jpg 600w, https://estatousa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/campidoglio-washington.jpg 640w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></span></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-38" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><p style="text-align: center;">Capitol in Washington DC</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-39" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><p>A mile long and 120 metres broad, in front of the new seat of the country’s central government, sprawled a “great avenue” bordered with several gardens, which would eventually become known as the National Mall.</p>
<p>An equestrian statue of George Washington was intended at the end of this avenue, right across from the Capitol, with the President’s Mansion – The White House – straight north of this monument. To complete the triangle, a diagonal boulevard connected the palace with the Capitol.</p>
<p>However, after a series of disputes, L’Enfant was sacked from the project, as was Andrew Ellicott, who had worked tirelessly to oversee the city and had been entrusted with completing the project.</p>
<p>However, it is reasonable to say that L’Enfant’s plan laid the groundwork for a modern metropolis that grew to become the administrative and symbolic capital of the United States. It is also densely packed with monuments, which we shall discuss later.</p>

<p>The first two main public structures in the new city were constructed in 1800. President John Adams moved into the mansion once the seat of government was eventually relocated to Washington. The White House was created in the neoclassical style by Irish architect James Hoban.</p>
<p>After the British burned down the city in 1814, both structures had to be reconstructed, and both have been significantly expanded since then.</p>

</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-43" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><p>The previously stated equestrian figure of Washington, which was supposed to lead the magnificent avenue, never materialised. Construction of a separate monument honouring the nation’s first president did not begin until 1848.</p>
<p>Although this monument was initially planned to be put right in front of the White House and Capitol, the land at this position proved too unstable to sustain the massive designed obelisk.</p>
<p>As a result, the architect Robert Mills-designed obelisk is 119 metres east of its planned placement. This continues to irritate individuals who like things to be aligned. The obelisk’s construction was interrupted between 1854 and 1877 due to a shortage of money. In fact, approximately a third of the way up the monument, the hue of the stones changes dramatically.</p>
<p>The 169-foot-tall Washington Obelisk, which was finally finished in 1884, remains the world’s highest stone building. It was temporarily the highest man-made building in the world before being overtaken more by Eiffel Tower in 1889.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-44" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">History of the National Mall in Washington</h4>
<p>L’Enfant’s proposal for a ceremonial centre was virtually ignored throughout the nineteenth century. This is because the National Mall was used for less glamorous events than expected. In truth, it was mostly utilised for bivouacs, military parades, livestock slaughter, and weapon manufacture. Although the Mall did not attract much attention at the time, it was enlarged to the west in the nineteenth century.</p>
<p>The Potomac River flowed near the Washington Monument until 1881. A significant flood in the city that year, however, caused Congress to direct the Army Corps of Engineers to dig a deep canal in the Potomac and utilise the excavated material to rebuild the river banks. This recovered site was dubbed West Potomac Park, and it became home to many of the National Mall’s icons.</p>
<p>L’Enfant’s ideal of a grand national capital was threatened in the early 1900s, with buildings erected hastily and encroaching on the commercial core. A railway station, greenhouses, and industrial complexes were among them -.</p>

<p>To address this, in 1902, the Senate Park Commission published the McMillan Plan, which permanently reconfigured the National Mall and positioned it as the symbolic hub of a wider federal district.</p>
<p>This reconstruction design envisaged a cruciform park, with the Capitol building joining the east-west axis and the White House serving as a fixed point at the north-south axis. The Victorian landscaping of the National Mall was also removed, and L’Enfant’s “high roadway” was replaced with the basic 300-foot-wide stretch of grass that exists today.</p>
<p>A number of neoclassical museums and cultural facilities were intended to be built alongside this open space. While the McMillan Plan was not fully executed, its ideas drove the growth of Washington, DC over the following century.</p>
<p>Indeed, the National Mall’s purpose altered throughout this time period, as it became a meeting area filled with prominent structures. The Mall was extended west, as indicated by the McMillan Plan, and finished at the Lincoln Memorial. This memorial is a statue honouring Abraham Lincoln that was constructed in 1922, along with the reflecting pool.</p>

<h4 class="sub-heading ">Monuments and Memorials</h4>
<p>There are several monuments and memorials worth visiting in Washington, including the Lincoln Memorial, the White House, and the Washington Obelisk. The Jefferson Memorial, a monument created in honour of Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, was dedicated in 1943.</p>
<p>To place this monument immediately across from the White House, land had to be recovered from the tidal basin. The resulting unstable ground is still causing issues today.</p>
<p>Among those who have contributed to this monument are:</p>
<ul>
<li>In 1982, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial was dedicated.</li>
<li>The Korean War Veterans Memorial was dedicated in 1995.</li>
<li>In 1997, the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial was dedicated honouring the 32nd President of the United States of America.</li>
<li>the World War II Memorial in 2004;</li>
<li>In 2011, the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial was dedicated.</li>

<p>The United States Holocaust Tribute Museum is a living memorial to the Holocaust and its global effect, making it one of the must-see museums.</p>
<p>The museum’s mission is to educate the people about genocide and intolerant crimes.</p>

<p>Washington, the capital of the United States, could only be properly serviced by airports. There are three airports in total:</p>
<ul>
<li>Dulles International Airport: It is located in Dulles and focuses on international flights.</li>
<li>Ronald Reagan National Airport: located in Arlington, Virginia, and is mostly used for domestic flights.</li>
<li>Thurgood Marshall International Thurgood Marshall Airport in Baltimore, Maryland. It is the largest of the three airports in terms of passenger traffic.</li>
</ul>
<p>Passengers arriving in Washington from Italy or Europe will very definitely land through Dulles International.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-57" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Where is Dulles Airport located?</h4>
<p>42 kilometres from the city centre, now in Virginia:<br /><iframe style="border: 0;" src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m14!1m8!1m3!1d16515.545308928973!2d-77.456539!3d38.953116!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x0%3A0x8e01cb201080601d!2sAeroporto%20internazionale%20di%20Washington-Dulles!5e1!3m2!1sit!2sit!4v1670772399578!5m2!1sit!2sit" width="600" height="450" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>The airport provides a direct link to Rome Fiumicino, with almost 25,000,000 passengers per year (equivalent to Milan Malpensa).</p>
<p>The main terminal is where you check in. Then there are two big halls, A/B and C/D, that are solely dedicated to United Airlines, who have a hub here. TSA PreCheck is available at the airport, which benefits frequent travellers.</p>
<p>There are two ways to connect with the city:</p>
<ul>
<li>Metrobus 5A leaves at the Herndon-Monroe Park subway station. The Fairfax Connector, with lines 981 and 983, is another alternative from Herndon.</li>
<li>Taxis: Only operated by Washington Flyer. Uber and Lyft are both available.</li>
<li>Metro: A link to the Washington metro network is being built and could be operational as early as 2021.</li>
</ul>

<p>In this final segment of our post, we’ll look at some lesser-known facts about Washington, DC and its gorgeous memorials.</p>
<ol>
<li>The WWII Memorial has a big fountain, columns with the names of each state and territory, and 4,048 gold stars, each symbolising 100 American military casualties during WWII.</li>
<li>Two years after Lincoln’s death, Congress established the Lincoln Monument Association. The Lincoln Memorial, on the other hand, did not begin building until 1914. Each of the 36 columns represents a state in the Union at the time of Lincoln’s death.</li>
<li>The Washington Obelisk is the tallest skyscraper in Washington, DC.</li>
<li>George Washington was buried with his family at Mount Vernon, as per his desires. In reality, his crypt on Capitoline Hill is deserted.</li>
<li>Woodrow Wilson is the only president buried in the United States capital. His ashes are interred at the National Cathedral.</li>
<li>Many people are surprised that the Lincoln Memorial is where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” address in 1963. An extract from the speech is available on the Rare Facts YouTube channel:</li>

<p>Unlike in Europe, where the right to health is uniformly guaranteed for everyone by state regulations (in Italy, it is guaranteed by article 32 of the Constitution), the right to health in the United States is mostly founded on private principles.</p>
<p>Essentially, this means that, although healthcare is available to all residents regardless of wealth or income on the old continent, it is not available in America. In reality, access to therapy is only assured for those who can afford it financially, either because they are financially covered or have particular insurance coverage.</p>
<p>Medicare and Medicaid are both government-funded health-care programmes in the United States. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is in charge of monitoring them, as well as the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).</p>
<p>The applications, however, operate somewhat differently and are designed, above all, to suit distinct sorts of users. Although both systems are an essential and effective component of the American health-care system, they are vastly different.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-63" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">What are the differences between Medicare and Medicaid?</h4>
<h4 class="sub-heading ">Medicaid: What is it for and how does it work?</h4>
<p>Medicaid, which was established in 1965, is essentially a government health programme that assists the less well-off (low-income people and families) in bearing the expenses of health insurance, covering a more or less relevant portion based on their stated income.</p>
<p>The programme is financed by the federal government of the United States, but it is wholly handled by each of the 50 states. Medicaid covers the following:</p>
<p>dental expenses;</p>
<ul>
<li>x-rays;</li>
<li>treatments in psychiatric clinics;</li>
<li>examinations and controls for people under 21;</li>
<li>transporting a patient to visits, including by ambulance;</li>
<li>medicines, equipment of various kinds (such as wheelchairs), and more.</li>
<li>However, with the exception of emergency care, Medicaid does not cover all impoverished individuals.</li>
</ul>
<p>Income (including real estate and bank accounts), age, and any handicap all influence entrance criteria (paralysis, blindness). Even if you are an immigrant with a regular permit, you are covered by Medicaid.</p>
<p>Because Medicaid is managed by the states rather than the federal government, each state determines income criteria for eligibility.</p>
<p>Medicaid membership is primarily optional under the statute, although the programme has now been embraced by all US states.</p>

</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-66" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><p>The passage of Obamacare by President Barack Obama in 2010 was a significant innovation. This initiative provided coverage to income categories who did not previously fulfil Medicaid standards.</p>
<p>In reality, the previous president has made a number of improvements to the health-care system, such as increasing the number of people eligible for it tenfold.</p>
<p>Among the modifications brought by Obamacare are the requirements for businesses with more than 50 employees to contribute to the expenses of their employees’ policy purchases, the restriction on insurance companies denying the stipulation of plans, and aid for specific disorders.</p>
<p>It has also imposed fines on those who do not obtain insurance.</p>

<p>Medicare, the flip side of the American health-care system, is a medical insurance programme sponsored by the US government that primarily covers the elderly and handicapped, regardless of reported income.</p>
<p>It is funded at the federal level by payments from employees and companies.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-68" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">HOW IS MEDICARE DIVIDED?</h4>
<p>Lyndon Johnson introduced Medicare as Medicaid, and it is divided into two parts: part A is Hospital Insurance, which covers the costs of stays in hospitals or hospices (coverage is based on the patient’s income range), and part B is Medical Insurance, which covers the costs of other medical treatments, such as home care and some medications.</p>
<p>Most users of this insurance pay a fixed monthly percentage; Part A and Part B, also known as Original Medicare, work together to cover the majority of the beneficiaries’ inpatient and outpatient medical needs, and are thus considered basic health coverage, as the system essentially forces citizens to enrol in the Medicare health programme by imposing a series of harsh penalties.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-69" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">WHAT DOES MEDICARE PART A COVER?</h4>
<p>Medicare A covers hospitalisation and includes the following benefits:</p>
<ul>
<li>Hospital stays (semi-private rooms) up to 60 days;</li>
<li>hospital meals;</li>
<li>nursing services;</li>
<li>intensive care services;</li>
<li>medications, medical supplies, and equipment used on the premises;</li>
<li>laboratory tests and X-rays performed in the hospital;</li>
<li>surgery and recovery costs;</li>
<li>rehabilitation and therapy services;</li>
<li>part-time home nursing care.</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-70" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">WHAT DOES MEDICARE B COVER?</h4>
<p>Medicare B covers your outpatient medical requirements and includes the following benefits:</p>
<ul>
<li>routine doctor visits;</li>
<li>tests and x-rays;</li>
<li>flu vaccines and other vaccinations;</li>
<li>necessary medical supplies;</li>
<li>outpatient mental health care;</li>
<li>medically necessary preventive care;</li>
</ul>
<p>The Medicare programme, on the other hand, provides private health insurance known as Part C (Medicare Advantage) and Part D.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-71" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">WHAT DOES MEDICARE C COVER?</h4>
<p>Medicare Advantage plans (part C) are provided by commercial health insurance firms and provide, in addition to everything currently covered in parts A and B (Original Medicare), a variety of extra services such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cleanings, x-rays, and dentures are all part of basic dental care.</li>
<li>regular vision care, which includes contact lenses and spectacles;</li>
<li>regular hearing aids;</li>
<li>Fitness advantages, such as exercise courses</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-72" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">WHAT DOES MEDICARE D COVER?</h4>
<p>Only commercial health plans provide Part D (prescription medication coverage).</p>
<p>Despite massive public investment, it must be stated that, while the majority of Americans acquire health care in some form or another, the middle class, who earns little but is not poor enough to qualify for Medicaid, can face considerable financial difficulties.</p>

<p>Both health programmes, as they are now designed, include expenses that consume about half of state budgets. In fact, a recent research issued by CMS/Office of Enterprise Data & Analytics/Office of the Actuary highlighted the US government’s Medicare spending in 2017:</p>
<p>Part A has been utilised by 7.7 million persons for a total cost of 188.1 billion dollars, which has been distributed as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>6.6 million hospital admissions and $135.3 billion spent;</li>
<li>1.8 million patients enrolled to rehabilitation institutions, with a total cost of $28.1 billion;</li>
<li>1.6 million persons in need of home care services, with a $6.8 billion budget;</li>
<li>At a cost of $17.9 billion, 1.5 million patients were admitted to long-term care (hospice) homes.</li>
</ul>
<p>34.2 million persons participated in B for a total cost of 188.9 billion dollars, which was distributed as follows:</p>

</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-74" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">The 2019 changes</h4>
<p>Access to Medicare Parts A and B is predicted to be 61.2 million in 2019, split between those over 65 (52.6 million) and those handicapped (8.6), with Medicaid access expected to be 75.8 million.</p>
<p>Trump’s election as President of the United States, on the other hand, has put Obama’s health-care reform into doubt. Indeed, Trumpcare, unlike Obamacare, acknowledged the right to health as universal and proper to all people. Not only that, but it confirms the idea that health care is no longer a universal entitlement, but rather a choice made by citizens.</p>
<p>As a result, no one will be obliged to purchase an insurance under penalty of paying a penalty, as required under the prior law. The assignment has also been cancelled for businesses with more than fifty employees that are obligated to provide health insurance to their employees.</p>
<p>Furthermore, Trump’s American Health Care Act intends to abolish or gradually diminish benefits for low-income Americans, replacing them with a partial tax credit (depending on the policyholder’s age and income).</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-75" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020</h4>
<p>Several laws are beginning to be reduced as a result of the proliferation of Covid-19 in the United States during the month of March. The subject is broad and might fill several articles. Let’s look at a few examples of what’s going on.</p>
<p>To assist cope with the situation, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, for example, has expanded coverage of telehealth services. It should be emphasised that these coverages were formerly relatively restricted. Companies that provided telemedicine services grew dramatically during this time period, as did everything else.</p>
<p>Another clear indication of the system’s progress is the relaxation of the licencing requirement: formerly, a doctor had to hold a licence for the state in which he wished to practise. The federal and state governments are now approving this in areas severely impacted by the virus. It may appear weird, if not insane, to those accustomed to national health systems, but in the United States, this is the standard.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-76" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">How can I get health insurance in the USA?</h4>
<p>As we have seen, in order to acquire health care in the United States, you must satisfy highly precise conditions that change depending on the insurance programme.</p>
<p>Medicaid (if you have a low income or fall into one of the categories listed below):</p>
<ul>
<li>at least 65 years old</li>
<li>less than the age of 19;</li>
<li>pregnancy (being pregnant);</li>
<li>have a handicap;</li>
<li>adult or parent with a minor dependant;</li>
<li>adult who does not have any dependent children (in some states);</li>
<li>qualified immigrant</li>
</ul>
<p>Medicare:</p>
<ul>
<li>at least 65 years old</li>
<li>under 65 and handicapped;</li>
<li>End-stage renal disease at any age (permanent renal failure requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant).</li>
</ul>

<p>As a result, it appears clear that anyone planning a trip to the United States, whether for pleasure, work, or study, must obtain a series of documents to ensure that his trip finally begins (for example, the ‘ESTA for those who intend to stay in the USA for a maximum of 90 days) and that he can then continue and end up safe from any unforeseen events.</p>
<p>International travellers can compare several health insurance policies for foreigners; multiple medical insurance plans are offered. Visitors visiting the United States should be aware of certain important considerations to consider when acquiring US travel medical insurance.</p>
<p>We intend to refer to the various types of guarantees provided and the maximum limits contemplated; in the first case, a guarantee that should not be overlooked is that relating to trip cancellation in order to ensure the value of the cost invested in the trip in the event that something prevents it from being completed.</p>
<p>Given the high expense of health care in the United States, it is best to maintain the ceilings somewhat high.</p>

<p>As we have seen, health care in the United States is a pretty sensitive issue, even for American politics. The transition from Obamacare to Trumpcare will almost surely be painful for the millions of US people who may have to supply the majority of their own health care.</p>
<p>This emphasises the distinction between our National Health System (SSN), which unavoidably defends the health of all Italian residents, and the American system. For these reasons, it is important to remember that having a solid health insurance coverage in the area of a trip to the United States is necessary.</p>

<p>Despite the fact that Los Angeles has four different seasons, temperatures remain nice all year. In reality, maximum temperatures reach 29°C and never fall below 20°C. Minimum temperatures, on the other hand, can reach 18°C but seldom dip below 9°C.</p>
<p>In Los Angeles, the seasons are as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Winter: Temperatures and weather in Los Angeles are temperate and pleasant from December through March. The sky is generally clear, although rain is possible. The temperature range, on the other hand, might be significant. Temperatures tend to decrease at night, so carry warm clothing if you visit the city during the winter.</li>
<li>Spring in Los Angeles is warm and sunny, lasting from April until June. This season is distinguished by the thin morning fog created by the temperature differential between the air and the Pacific. In any case, this is an excellent time to explore the city.</li>
<li>Summer: The months of July and September are ideal for exploring the Los Angeles beaches. Temperatures in the city can exceed 30°C, although the water provides a cooling effect. Even on the warmest days, temperatures along the seaside remain moderate.</li>
<li>Autumn: The months of October and November have highs of up to 23°C and are ideal for a visit to the city. However, the first harsh weather might come only in fall.</li>
</ul>
<p>Spring and summer are thus the finest times to visit Los Angeles. Already in the spring, the weather will be moderate enough to unwind at Malibu Beach. If you enjoy the heat and are not frightened of a hot temperature, you can easily plan a summer vacation in this city.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-84" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">What to see in Los Angeles: the attractions to visit on your trip</h4>
<p>Los Angeles is a massive metropolis; consider that it is the second most populated city in the United States. As a result, it is essential to organise your vacation and decide what to see in Los Angeles.</p>
<p>First and foremost, decide how long you will remain in the city. A day or two is all that is required to see the main sights. A four-day stay, on the other hand, will allow you to explore the city, the seaside, and even the neighbouring countryside.</p>
<p>Here’s how you may plan your vacation based on its duration:</p>
<ul>
<li>1 day: Hollywood and the Walk of Fame in Santa Monica</li>
<li>2 days: Disneyland and Universal Studios can be added to the programme.</li>
<li>3 days: go to Beverly Hills, Bel Air, and the beaches.</li>
<li>4 days: devote yourself to the city core and, if time allows, tour the outlying parks and counties.</li>
</ul>

</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-87" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><p>The iconic Hollywood Sign is without a doubt one of the icons that helped to make Los Angeles renowned. It is 9 metres high and 110 metres long, it is located atop Mount Lee in the Hollywood area of the same name. It was erected in the 1920s and has since become a popular tourist destination.</p>
<p>If you decide to visit the Hollywood Sign, you may either see it up close or enjoy a panoramic perspective. In any case, keep in mind that touching the lettering or climbing the artwork is strictly prohibited.</p>
<p>Here’s how you can come as near as you can:</p>
<ol>
<li>Take Lake Hollywood Drive;</li>
<li>explore the Wonder View path;</li>
<li>For around 50 minutes, stroll the route. The Wisdom Tree, a lone tree facing a cliff, will be visible halfway.</li>
<li>Remember that the road might be hilly, so wear comfortable shoes and carry plenty of drink.</li>
</ol>

<p>If, on the other hand, you want to take in a spectacular panoramic view of the Hollywood Sign, this observatory is the ideal choice. However, this destination is more than just a beautiful backdrop for photographs. It is, in reality, the world’s most visited astronomical observatory.</p>
<p>Griffith J. Griffith, a billionaire, set aside a substantial sum in 1896 for the building of the observatory, which was finished in 1935 to the design of architect John C. Austin. Here’s what you should do if you go to this attraction:</p>
<ul>
<li>Attend a programme about the origins of the cosmos at the Samuel Oschin Planetarium and be astounded by its cutting-edge star projector;</li>
<li>ascend to the planetarium’s top to enjoy the Hollywood Hills scenery via the refractory telescope;</li>
<li>Finally, from Griffith Park, take in a panoramic vista of the Hollywood Sign. Hugh Hefner, the creator of Playboy, wanted the park built to minimise architectural exploitation of the area surrounding the renowned inscription.

</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-91" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Santa Monica</h4>
<p>This coastal community in California is about twenty minutes from downtown Los Angeles. It has roughly 90,000 residents and is particularly popular with visitors since its streets and scenery are reminiscent of those seen in Hollywood films.</p>
<p>Here are some things to do in the city:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ocean Avenue is ideal for a stroll along the ocean, possibly watching the sunset, and then treating yourself to a peaceful meal.</li>
<li>Downtown: The best place to shop is in the city centre. In this sense, Santa Monica Place, an open-air retail mall, and Montana Avenue, known for its shops, come to mind. The 3rd Street Promenade is teeming with excellent eateries.</li>
<li>The Aquarium is a must-see, especially if you’re travelling with children. Pacific Park, on the other hand, understands how to bring together adults and children. This amusement park overlooks the Pacific Ocean, and its Ferris wheel provides an unforgettable perspective.</li>
<li>Santa Monica Pier: Without a question, the pier is one of the city’s great attractions. The pier’s renowned carousel, the Merry Go Round, goes back to the 1920s and is one of the city’s most photographed sights.</li>
</ul>

<p>This amusement park is a haven for both children and adults, and it was the first Disney theme park ever built. Disneyland is located in Anaheim, California, 40 kilometres from downtown Los Angeles. It should ideally be accessible via Uber, Taxi, or rented car.</p>
<p>The park is organised into three sections:</p>
<ul>
<li>Disneyland Park Adventure: This is the classic section of Disneyland, developed by Walt Disney and distinguished by the Sleeping Beauty Castle in the Woods. This park part is broken into eight pieces. Children will surely like Mickey’s Toontown and Fantasyland, while adults will really enjoy Adventureland.</li>
<li>Disney California Adventure Park: This section of the well-known California theme park is separated into six themed zones. In general, it has a less historic feel than Adventure Park and will appeal to lovers of Disney and Pixar’s more contemporary productions. Hollywood Land is a recreation of the Hollywood studios, complete with Monsters, Inc.-themed attractions. Pixar Pier is ideal for fans of Toy Story and the Incredibles, while Car’s Land is dedicated to the film of the same name.</li>
<li>Downtown Disney District: this is the retail and restaurant district that allows you to quickly access the park’s two main regions.</li>
<li>Hotel Zone: If you elect to stay in the region, you have three options. The most elegant and expensive of the three is Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, followed by Disneyland Hotel and Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel.</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-95" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">The neighborhoods of Los Angeles neighborhoods: from Bel Air to Beverly Hills</h4>
<p>Los Angeles may not have the reputation of being a city with remarkable architecture, yet certain of its districts are so distinctive that they merit at least one visit. Among these are undoubtedly Bel Air and Beverly Hills, which have become famous due to the numerous celebrities that live there.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-96" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">BEL AIR</h4>
<p>Bel Air was founded in 1923 as a result of a scheme envisioned by Alphonso Bell, proprietor of an agricultural house in the region. This prominent West Los Angeles neighbourhood is so popular that trips are often planned to visit it.</p>
<p>But be cautious. Some portions of the community are gated off and monitored by security guards in order to protect the inhabitants’ safety and privacy. Here are some things to do in Bel Air, Los Angeles:</p>
<ul>
<li>If you chance to be in Los Angeles in November, we recommend checking out the Bel Air Film Festival, which has been giving room to new film industry talent since 2008.</li>
<li>Herp Albert’s Vibrato Grill and Jazz: This theater-style venue blends American cuisine and music. If you want to dine in Bel Air, this is a charming option.</li>
<li>Tours of Bel Air: For the more adventurous, various firms provide private or group tours of Bel Air’s most expensive residences onboard a vehicle or SUV.</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-97" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">THE LEGENDARY BEVERLY HILLS</h4>
<p>It will not be difficult to find things to do in Beverly Hills. This was previously a bean farm but, like Bel Air, is now one of Los Angeles’ most affluent neighbourhoods. Here are the key Beverly Hills attractions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Famous villas: If you are captivated by the magnificence of Beverly Hills, we recommend that you visit the Virginia Robinson Gardens, the gardens of the neighborhood’s original home. You may extend your tour by going to Geryston Home, a 55-room mansion constructed by an oil billionaire and now held by the city.</li>
<li>Los Angeles Golden Triangle: This affluent shopping and eating district is encompassed by Santa Monica Boulevard, Wilshire Boulevard, and North Crescent Drive. Rodeo Drive is definitely the most recognised street in this neighbourhood, where you will discover the most sought after and finest stores.</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-98" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Walk of Fame</h4>
<p>A tour to the Walk of Fame would not be complete without a stop in Los Angeles. Since the 1950s, memorial stars of prominent entertainment figures have been attached to this iconic stretch of Hollywood Boulevard. The Walk of Fame now spans two kilometres.</p>
<p>Aside from photographing the renowned celebs, you can also buy souvenirs and take a tour of the Dolby Theater on Hollywood Boulevard. Every year, the Oscars are hosted just here.</p>

<p>It is worthwhile to have a tour of downtown Los Angeles before departing the city. Among the notable attractions in the region are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pershing Square: great for seeing the city center’s skyline, which has recently been rebuilt in terms of architectural;</li>
<li>Skyspace: This building houses an observatory from where you may enjoy a spectacular view of Los Angeles. Take the 13-metre Skyslide, a transparent slide that will take you to the skyscraper’s lower deck.</li>

</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-100" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Conclusion: Los Angeles, a multifaceted city</h4>
<p>Los Angeles, as you might expect, is a massive metropolis with a plethora of attractions. There is just no lack of things to see. It takes time to tour everything, from amusement parks to beaches, going through the classic American cityscape and opulent neighbourhoods. We propose that, weather allowing, after your visit to the city, you tour its surrounds, particularly the beaches and natural parks. And, if possible, go outside the borders of Los Angeles County. We are confident that Los Angeles will not disappoint.</p>

<p>The Grand Canyon and its surrounding park are located in Northwestern Arizona, which is in the Southwestern United States. The Canyon is nothing more than a canyon of the Colorado River that stretches for about 5000 kilometres.</p>
<p>However, the park’s surface cannot be viewed in its whole, and travellers may only visit a few key sites, as we shall discover later. The rest of the park is primarily inaccessible wilderness.</p>

<li>Winter (November-March): A portion of the park is open throughout the winter, and the snow-capped peaks of the Canyon provide a spectacular sight. However, be wary of the regular storms and showers. Even the temperatures, with an average maximum of about 7°C and a low of -7°C, might be prohibitive.</li>
<li>Summer (May-September): Summer in the park is unmistakably hot and muggy. In fact, temperatures can soar to deadly levels for unprepared travellers. This season’s Grand Canyon weather can be challenging. Storms, high winds, and lightning are common. Furthermore, heavy rains can trigger flash floods and landslides. Take note of the temperature variation: it can range from 40°C during the day to 9°C at night.</li>
<li>Spring (March-May) and fall (September-November): the climate is more unpredictable throughout these seasons, although the temperatures are more comfortable than in summer or winter. April and May are windy months, with snowfall possible in March and October. Temperatures in the canyon’s surroundings range from 0 to 17°C. Inside the canyon, however, temperatures range from 13 to 28°C.</li>

<p>Given these climatic qualities, spring and fall are unquestionably the ideal times to explore the park. In reality, despite the rare bout of severe weather, the temperatures are softer and more comfortable, and the most of the attractions are open all day.</p>
<p>It’s no accident that these are the busiest times of year at the park. If you wish to camp here, you will need to get a permission for an overnight stay in advance.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-110" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">What to see during your visit? The main attractions of the National Park</h4>
<p>The Grand Canyon National Park is vast, and visiting it might take many days. However, if you just have a limited amount of time for your stay, we recommend that you focus on the attractions listed below.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-111" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">The South Rim or southern part of the park</h4>
<p>Our advice is to begin your tour at the park’s southern section. This is, in fact, the most popular with tourists and the one with the greatest attractions. It is also easily accessible from both the south and the north.</p>
<p>Hermit Road is arguably the most popular tourist path. This gorgeous 11-kilometer circuit is accessible all year by foot, bike, shuttle, and private tour. In the winter, however, it is also feasible to go by private vehicle.</p>
<p>We propose the following panoramic viewpoints along the path:</p>
<ul>
<li>Trailview Overlook</li>
<li>Maricopa Point</li>
<li>Powell Point</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-112" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">THE VILLAGE AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE PARK</h4>
<p>Grand Canyon Village, located near the park’s southern gate, is a genuine fortification. Here you will discover information, exhibitions, and tiny museums to help you prepare for your visit. We especially encourage going to:</p>

</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-114" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><ul>
<li>Kolb Studio, the Kolb brothers’ original house, which dates back to 1904 and is now a museum. Interesting photographic exhibits are exhibited here on a regular basis.</li>
<li>If you wish to camp in the park, the Backcountry Information Center will be your one-stop shop. There is also information about trips in the park’s hinterland.</li>
<li>However, Verkamp’s Visitor Center is the finest site to learn more about the community’s century-old history.</li>
<li>The Yavapay Geological Museum provides interactive, three-dimensional maps that can help you understand more about the formation and history of the Grand Canyon.</li>
<li>The only way to get to the Mather Point overlook is from the Village.</li>
<li>The park’s northern entrance is at Desert View. Aside from that, the Desert View is a worthwhile destination. Among its key sites of interest are:
<ul>
<li>Mary Jean Colter created the Desert View Watchtower, which was influenced by ancient pueblos. You will be able to enjoy a beautiful perspective of the whole Canyon and the Painted Desert from here.</li>
<li>Tusayan Museum and Ruins, about 5 kilometres west of the Desert View gate. This section contains fascinating facts on the lives and histories of the indigenous inhabitants of this region. The remnants of an old pluebos settlement are also on display.</li>
</ul>

<p>If you are not frightened of heights and want to enjoy an unforgettable experience dangling over the Grand Canyon, the Skywalk is a must-see. This horseshoe-shaped platform hangs 360 metres over the Canyon rock wall, 21 metres above the ground.</p>
<p>This extremely short movie, created by the Skywalk’s manager, Grand Canyon West, conveys the uniqueness of this attraction:</p>
<p><iframe title="Walk 4,000 ft Above the Grand Canyon on the Skywalk" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/U32H0rYkJGM" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-116" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><p>The indigenous Hualapai tribe commissioned the project, which was finished in 2007. The project is built of translucent material, allowing visitors to enjoy one of the Canyon’s greatest vistas.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-117" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">HOW TO VISIT THE SKYWALK?</h4>
<p>To visit the Skywalk, you must enter the Canyon from the west side. As a result, you will have two alternatives for the visit:</p>
<ol>
<li>The most convenient alternative is to join one of the Grand Canyon walks. Package excursions often include hotel pickup and an explanation-led tour of the Skywalk. Breakfast, lunch, and beverages are normally included in the price. However, keep in mind that the majority of trips leave from Las Vegas.</li>
<li>Alternatively, you can go on your own visit. However, keep in mind that driving to the Skywalk will be impossible in this situation. As a result, you must direct the navigator to Grand Canyon West Airport, 5001 Diamond Bar Road, Peach Springs, AZ 86434. It will subsequently be essential to park and take advantage of the shuttle service.</li>
</ol>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-118" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">COST TO VISIT THE SKYWALK</h4>
<p>The Grand Canyon National Park does not include the Skywalk. As a result, you must purchase a separate Grand Canyon West ticket in order to visit.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-image-element " style="text-align:center;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);"><span class=" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-23 hover-type-none"><img decoding="async" width="640" height="426" title="skywalk" src="https://estatousa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/skywalk.jpg" alt class="img-responsive wp-image-38578" srcset="https://estatousa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/skywalk-200x133.jpg 200w, https://estatousa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/skywalk-400x266.jpg 400w, https://estatousa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/skywalk-600x399.jpg 600w, https://estatousa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/skywalk.jpg 640w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></span></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-119" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><p style="text-align: center;">The Skywalk</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-120" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><p>Each General Admission Ticket with Skywalk Add-On costs around $80 and asks you to pick your preferred day and hour of entrance. Remember that the General Admission Ticket does not guarantee access to the Skywalk; thus, an additional cost must be paid.</p>
<p>You can choose whether or not to visit additional West Canyon attractions at the time of purchasing. As an example:</p>
<ul>
<li>Tour of Separation Canyon ($304);</li>
<li>Emery Falls excursion ($305), which also includes a helicopter trip;</li>
<li>The Historical Float Tour ($244) is a two-hour river trip to Guano Point.</li>
</ul>

<p>The northern section of the park is unquestionably the least visited by tourists. If you just have a few hours to see the Grand Canyon, keep in mind that the two rims are 4 hours apart. As a result, it will be impossible to see both in a single day, and if you must pick, we recommend that you prioritise the southern side.</p>
<p>Also, take in mind that this Rim is not accessible all year. If you wish to go, be sure you go at these times:</p>
<ul>
<li>from 15 May to 15 October: the park, as well as the information centre, restaurants, and camping, are open all day throughout these months.</li>
<li>From October 15 to November 31, the park is only open from sunrise to sunset, and camping is not permitted.</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-122" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">THE ATTRACTIONS OF THE NORTHERN SLOPE</h4>
<p>While this isn’t the most popular region of the park, there are various paths and overlooks to explore. The following are some must-see sights on the northern slope:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Bright Angel Trail leads to the Bright Angel Lookout, which provides an excellent view of the canyon. The trail is one of the shortest and easiest to follow, covering less than 1 kilometre in around 30 minutes.</li>
<li>The Cape Royal Road is a 32-kilometer path with some good sights along the way. Among them, we particularly recommend:
<ul>
<li>Point Imperial, the highest point in the Grand Canyon, is approximately five miles from the trailhead.</li>
<li>the Walhalla Overlook, which provides a stunning view of the Colorado River Delta and access to the Walhalla Glades Pueblo</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-123" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Practical tips for visiting Canyon Park</h4>
<p>Visiting the Canyon is an unforgettable experience, but it may also be dangerous at times. As a result, we recommend that you thoroughly prepare for the expedition and adhere to our instructions.</p>
<p>First and foremost, ensure that you bring:</p>
<ul>
<li>depending on the intensity and duration of the visit, at least two litres of water;</li>
<li>snacks and calorie-dense foods</li>
<li>Even in fall and winter, use sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat to protect yourself from the sun.</li>
<li>first-aid kit, including duct tape and a pocket knife;</li>
<li>Even if you don’t intend to remain until dusk, bring a torch and backup batteries. The cell phone flashlight does not give enough light, which causes the battery to deplete rapidly.</li>
<li>as an emergency shelter, a light tarp;</li>
<li>a map of the Grand Canyon;</li>
<li>a whistle, as well as signal mirrors</li>
</ul>
<p>The park is completely safe to visit, although some measures must be taken:</p>
<ul>
<li>Avoid travelling long distances in a single day.</li>
<li>Keep an eye out for hypothermia, dehydration, and heat-related sickness symptoms.</li>
<li>Swimming in the Colorado River is not recommended. Temperatures stay around 8 degrees Fahrenheit all year, and rapid currents can be dangerous.</li>
</ul>
<p>Plan your excursion carefully:</p>
<ul>
<li>regular eating and drinking</li>
<li>Every hour, sit for at least 10 minutes. Sit till you feel better if you are fatigued or run down.</li>
<li>If you are too exhausted, remember that you may stay overnight at one of the Grand Canyon’s many hotels.</li>
<li>Always communicate your whereabouts with your travelling buddies.</li>
<li>Leave no traces or garbage in the park.</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-124" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">How to visit the park? Means of transport and excursions</h4>
<p>If you don’t enjoy walking but still want to visit the park, there are numerous excursions available that will allow you to see the Canyon in a different way.</p>
<ul>
<li>Excursions with mules and donkeys: this form of trip may be organised both during the day and at night. These trips are ideal not just if you dislike walking, but also if you want to enjoy a unique experience. These trips are organised by Xanterra Parks & Resorts and Grand Canyon Trail Rides.</li>
<li>Bike tours and bike rentals: From March to January, you may hire bicycles and prams or join one of the many scheduled trips. These services are provided by Bright Angels Bicycles and Café.</li>
<li>Grand Canyon Helicopter & Air Trips: These tours leave from a tiny airstrip near the park’s South Rim entrance on a daily basis. Grand Canyon Helicopters provides helicopter tours, while Grand Canyon Airlines provides plane trips.</li>
<li>Bus excursions: with this option, you may stay comfortably seated while a local guide provides information on the park’s history and geology. Xanterra Parks & Resorts offers frequent bus trips.</li>

Fortunately, the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has several initiatives in place to make it simpler to enter and exit the nation. The CBP Global Entry programme is one of them. In this essay, we will look at the features, fees, and registration procedures.</p>

<p>First, let’s look at how Global Entry works. The programme is overseen by the US border control authorities, Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The CBP is, in turn, controlled by the United States Department of Homeland Security, or DHS.</p>
<p>Global Entry is now available at 53 airports in the United States and 15 other destinations. Indeed, countries such as Canada, Ireland, and the United Arab Emirates have signed specific treaties with the United States.</p>
<p>For this reason, some airports in these nations have the authority to conduct customs inspections on departing passengers on behalf of US authorities.</p>
<p>In addition to the benefits of ESTA permission, the CBP Global Entry programme offers the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>capacity to bypass customs lines upon arrival in the United States;</li>
<li>Significant decrease in airport wait times;</li>
<li>There is no paperwork to fill out or provide upon arrival.</li>
<li>access to comparable advantages in other nations;</li>
<li>ability to use the TSA PreCheck programme</li>
</ul>
<p>Participating in the programme obviously has a cost. Furthermore, Global Entry is valid for 5 years from the date of registration, beginning with your first birthday. After the registration expires, you must renew it and pay the fee again.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-130" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Who can participate in the CBP Global Entry program ?</h4>
<p>Unfortunately, not all nations’ people are currently eligible for the Global Entry programme. This does not rule out the potential that the US would invite other countries to participate in the future.</p>
<p>As a result, the first qualification for participation is to be a citizen of one of the member countries:</p>
<ul>
<li>Argentina</li>
<li>Colombia</li>
<li>South Korea</li>
<li>Germany</li>
<li>India</li>
<li>Panama</li>
<li>Mexico</li>
<li>United Kingdom</li>
<li>Singapore</li>
<li>United States</li>
<li>Swiss</li>
<li>Taiwan</li>
</ul>
<p>They, too, can take part, regardless of nationality:</p>
<ul>
<li>United States permanent residents;</li>
<li>through the NEXUS programme, permanent citizens of Canada</li>
</ul>
<p>At the moment, Italian citizens cannot obtain Global Entry unless they also have permanent residence in the United States or Canada. It is also crucial to understand that, even if you are registered in the programme, Global Entry does not substitute the ESTA visa in any manner.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-131" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Exclusion conditions: who cannot participate?</h4>
<p>Citizenship in one of the above-mentioned countries does not ensure admission to the Global Entry programme. In reality, there are several circumstances that result in automatic expulsion from the programme. They are as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>have given incorrect or incomplete information during registration;</li>
<li>You have had criminal convictions or trials. This includes driving under the influence of alcohol.</li>
<li>have broken immigration and/or customs regulations in the United States This covers breaking agricultural rules as well as breaking any law in any state.</li>
<li>be the subject of a federal, state, or local legal inquiry of any kind;</li>
<li>Entry into the United States is forbidden under applicable legislation;</li>
<li>failure to fulfil the conditions for being classified as a “low risk” traveller</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-132" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">CBP Global Entry Program and minors: is it possible to apply?</h4>
<p>Minors can register for Global Entry if they match the above-mentioned nationality requirements. Parents of minors are not needed to participate in the programme. However, in order to enrol, parents must offer consent.</p>
<p>Remember that the application price is the same for everyone, regardless of age. The youngster must also submit his or her application on his or her own and go through the standard control processes. He will, however, be required to be accompanied by a parent for the interview.</p>

<p>Applying for Global Entry is no more difficult than applying for an ESTA USA. Keep in mind, however, that you will not receive an immediate answer and that the procedure may take longer. Given that CBP receives approximately 50,000 applications per month, this is not surprising. Here’s how to send in your application:</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-134" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">1. Provide all the personal information needed by the application</h4>
<p>This data set includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Personal information about the applicant (full name, gender, height and eye colour, date and place of birth);</li>
<li>contact information (residence address, phone number, and email address);<br />
citizenship;</li>
<li>information on the applicant’s documents (US passport, birth certificate, permanent residence permit, driver’s license);</li>
<li>residences for the five years before the application;</li>
<li>Data on employment for the five years preceding the application;</li>
<li>For minor applicants, full name and contact information of parents or guardians;</li>
<li>list of countries visited in the five years leading up to the application</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-135" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">2. Wait for your request to receive conditional approval</h4>
<p>The response usually arrives within a few days and contains all of the information required to schedule your interview (interview) with CBP agents.</p>
<p>Interviews are typically held at large international airports. Regardless, CBP Global Entry offices can be found outside of airports. If your application is denied, CBP will usually inform you of the reasons for the rejection.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-136" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">3. Show up for your interview at one of the Global Entry offices</h4>
<p>Follow the instructions in the email. The CBP agent will ask you a few questions throughout the 15-20 minute interview, such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>the reasons for your application for Global Entry;</li>
<li>validation of the information you gave on the internet</li>
</ul>
<p>Finally, please bring the following papers with you:</p>
<ul>
<li>passport;</li>
<li>another kind of identity, such as a driver’s licence or identification card</li>
<li>if you have permanent status in the United States, your permanent residency card;</li>
<li>Print the email confirmation.</li>
</ul>
<p>The agent will inform you if your application to participate in the CBP Global Entry Program has been granted or denied at the end of the interview.</p>

</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-140" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">5. Provide your biometric data to US authorities</h4>
<p>You must produce your fingerprints and have your photo taken before you may utilise your Global Entry credentials.</p>
<p>Once your application has been granted, you will have 120 days to complete this last step. In contrast to previous requirements, US agents can only collect your biometric data when you enter the country. To complete the registration process, you must travel to the United States.</p>
<p>After completing all of these steps, you will be officially enrolled in the CBP Global Entry program.</p>

</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-143" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><p style="text-align: center;">Passenger at the CBP Global Entry Program kiosk</p>
<p>You will be able to use the Global Entry kiosks once your application has been accepted and your biometric data has been submitted. When you arrive at the airport, simply proceed to the specified area. You will need to do the following at this point:</p>
<ol>
<li>Make use of your passport and/or permanent residency card.</li>
<li>Swipe them in accordance with the kiosk’s instructions;</li>
<li>Have you taken photographs?</li>
<li>submit fingerprints of the right or left hand, as desired;</li>
<li>if you are not a US citizen or permanent resident, you will still need to have ESTA or a valid US visa with you.</li>
</ol>
<p>You do not need to fill out a paper customs declaration because of the CBP Global Entry programme. Instead, the kiosk will request that you declare:</p>
<ul>
<li>all products purchased or given as a gift in another country;</li>
<li>cash or other monetary instruments in excess of $10,000;</li>
<li>Fruits, vegetables, plants, insects, and animal items, if available.</li>
</ul>
<p>Finally, you will be prompted to confirm your flight information. You will subsequently be given a printed receipt to deliver to the CBP official in charge.</p>

<p>It is not necessary to have a Global Entry card to use the programme at the airport. However, if you wish to enter the United States as a Global Entry user by land or water, you must present it.</p>
<p>First and foremost, you must activate your card by completing these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>vClick on the Activate Membership Card button;</li>
<li>Enter the PASSID and the numeric section of the security code from the card’s back.</li>
</ol>
<p>Once you’ve accomplished these procedures, the card’s microchip radio frequencies will allow you to access your Global Admission privileges for both land and maritime entry. If you are not a US citizen or permanent resident, you must once again produce your passport and ESTA application.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-145" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Global Entry and TSA PreCheck</h4>
<p>Once your Global Entry membership is validated, you will be instantly eligible for TSA PreCheck privileges. This application allows you to bypass security checks at more than 200 US airports. So far, 73 airlines have signed up for the scheme.</p>
<p>TSA PreCheck so compliments the CBP Global Entry programme well, allowing you to:</p>
<ul>
<li>access to specialised security checks, resulting in faster security checks;</li>
<li>During security inspections, keep coats, shoes, and belts on.</li>
<li>During security inspections, keep liquids, computers, and other electrical devices in your hand baggage.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you are eligible for TSA PreCheck benefits as a result of Global Entry, you should notify the airline you are travelling with. As a result, your boarding permit will say “TSA PreCheck,” and you will be allowed to access the relevant airport security checkpoint gates.</p>
<p>Simply input your Global Entry card number on the company’s website under your profile. You can also input your credit card information while reserving your ticket.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-146" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">What does it take to go to America? Documents required for travel</h4>
<p>It should be noted that joining Global Entrance does not replace the need for a passport or an entry visa. So keep in mind that your electronic passport must be valid for at least six months after your arrival date. Otherwise, you may be refused entry into the United States.</p>
<p>Most travellers will additionally require a visa to enter the United States. If you are a citizen of a nation that participates in the Visa Waiver Program, you can apply for an ESTA, or electronic travel authorization. You will then be able to print your authorisation without needing to visit the embassy.</p>
<p>If you have already visited the United States, keep an eye on the expiration date of your ESTA. In reality, the electronic authorisation is good for two years. If you visited America more than two years ago, you will need to apply for a new visa.</p>
<p>Citizens of states not participating in the Visa Waiver Program will need to apply for a conventional visa to visit the United States. As a result, a formal application must be sent to the US consulate.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-147" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Global Entry: A growing program with many benefits</h4>
<p>As can be seen, while Global Entry does not replace ESTA USA, it does provide considerable benefits. In reality, it allows you to avoid huge lines at customs once you arrive in the United States, as well as the perks of TSA PreCheck. So, if you have the opportunity to join the 5 million passengers who use Global Entry, you’re in luck.</p>
<p>Although Global Entry is not now accessible in Italy, it may become available in the future. In reality, the software is always growing. According to CBP, the list of cooperating nations might include Australia and Brazil as early as 2020. This year, the Netherlands may also joining the Global Entry network.</p>
<p>Finally, before departing for the United States, ensure that you have the relevant documentation, such as a passport, and that your ESTA is valid. If you cannot travel with electronic authorisation, you must apply for the visa that best matches the purpose of your trip.</p>

The American Declaration of Independence was signed right here, and Philadelphia served as the country’s capitol from 1790 and 1800. Several nationally renowned universities, notably the Ivy League University of Pennsylvania, are also located in the city. Despite this, it appears that most Italian visitors choose to visit other cities rather than Philadelphia. Nonetheless, this is an excellent visit for anybody interested in history or in discovering the more European side of the United States. As a result, in this post, we will help you pick what to see in Philadelphia and learn more about its history.</p>

How to get there?</h4>
<p>Philadelphia is the sixth most populous city in the United States and the biggest in Pennsylvania. It has a population of 1.6 million people, and its metropolitan area stretches all the way to Delaware and New Jersey. A true metropolis on the East Coast of the United States, it is thus quite accessible.</p>
<ul>
<li>If you are driving to New York, you can easily reach Philadelphia in 1 hour and 40 minutes by using I-95. If you don’t have a car, you may also ride the Amtrak Acela Express, which takes little under 2 hours.</li>
<li>From Washington, DC, it’s just as easy to go to Philadelphia. If you have a rental car, I-895 and I-95 will take you there in 2 1/2 hours. If you prefer the train, the trip with Amtrak Acela Express takes little over an hour and a half.</li>
<li>Philadelphia is served with a sophisticated international airport due to its prominence. American Airlines serves Philadelphia International Airport as a significant hub, with direct flights between Rome and Philadelphia.</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-151" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">When to go to Philly?</h4>
<p>The city’s climate is typically comparable to that of other cities on the United States’ East Coast. The seasons in Philadelphia often look like this:</p>
<ul>
<li>Summer (June-August): Average summer temperatures vary from 20 to 27° C. Despite this, humidity may influence perceived temperature, and rainfall is common. Keep an eye out for rising hotel rates throughout the holiday season.</li>
<li>Autumn (September-November): Autumn in Philadelphia is a sight to behold. On the one hand, the leaves are tinted with crimson, and the city’s numerous green spaces are lovely to explore. However, keep in mind that temperatures begin to fall in autumn. If temperatures are still about 20°C in September, they typically fall below 10°C in November.</li>
<li>Winter (December-February): Despite the chilly weather, visiting Philadelphia in the winter is still viable. However, keep in mind that the average temperature is roughly -7°C, with temperatures occasionally reaching -20°C. Snowfall is also possible on a regular basis. On the other side, if you want to save money, this season’s hotel rates are the lowest of the year.</li>
<li>Spring (March-May): Spring is without a doubt the greatest time to visit the city. Temperatures in March might be near freezing, but gradually rise to 15-20°C. Obviously, this is also the most costly and congested time of year to visit the city.</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-152" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">What to see in Philadelphia: the Old City</h4>
<p>Philadelphia has a lot to offer in terms of historical and cultural attractions. The Old City, or Città Vecchia, is arguably the city’s beating heart, distinguished by its traditional red brick structures. There are also many attractions here that are directly tied to independence and the American Revolution.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-153" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Independence Hall</h4>
<p>Independence Hall, previously the site of Philadelphia’s Congress, is the city’s most well-known landmark. In fact, under the guidance of Thomas Jefferson, the first American settlers signed the Declaration of Independence right here in July 1776.</p>
<p>Following the signing of the agreement, the thirteen American colonies declared their independence from the United Kingdom. Independence Hall is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with 2.5 million tourists each year.</p>
<p>The monument is situated in the same-named park, Independence National Historic Park. If you are staying in the city centre, you may simply walk there. Take care to purchase the correct ticket:</p>
<ul>
<li>From March to December, you must purchase a ticket for a certain time. Adults pay $5, children aged 4 to 16, and children under 4 are free.</li>
<li>In the remaining months, the ticket is good at any time of day.</li>
<li>Instead, admittance is free on Thanksgiving Day, December 24th, and July 4th.</li>
</ul>
<p>Also, keep in mind that admission is only available via a guided tour lasting 30-40 minutes. During the tour, the guide will give you with historical information to help you better comprehend this pivotal moment in American history.</p>

<p>The Liberty Bell, or “Campana della Libertà” in Italian, is also one of the most important symbols in American history. This bell was initially rung at the reading of the Declaration of Independence to the people. The copper and tin bell, which was installed in Philadelphia in 1751, was made in London at the Whitechapel foundry.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-image-element " style="text-align:center;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);"><span class=" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-28 hover-type-none"><img decoding="async" width="480" height="640" title="liberty-bell" src="https://estatousa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/liberty-bell.jpg" alt class="img-responsive wp-image-38314" srcset="https://estatousa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/liberty-bell-200x267.jpg 200w, https://estatousa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/liberty-bell-400x533.jpg 400w, https://estatousa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/liberty-bell.jpg 480w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 480px" /></span></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-155" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><p style="text-align: center;">Liberty Bell</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-156" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><p>When you visit it, you will undoubtedly notice the massive fracture that defines it. Nobody knows what caused it, although it was most likely caused by normal wear and tear. Despite efforts to fix it on George Washington’s birthday in 1846, the crack widened.</p>
<p>The bell is housed within the Liberty Bell Center, which is open to the public. Once inside, you may also view various images and panels about the city and the United States’ history. The main drawback is the long line to enter the site owing to security checks at the gate.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-157" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Betsy Ross House</h4>
<p>Another symbol of the United States’ battle for freedom may be seen at 239 Arch Street. According to legend, the weaver Betsy Ross resided and worked at this home. Betsy would weave the first American flag in 1776, which had a star for each of the Thirteen Colonies.</p>
<p>Today, this mansion serves as a museum, educating tourists about the history of one of the oldest communities in the United States. The apartments have been decorated and kept to portray life as it was during Betsy Ross’ time. Simultaneously, you will have the opportunity to interact with masked performers who portray situations from ordinary life in the eighteenth century.</p>
<p>The Betsy Ross House admission price (also accessible online) is as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Adults: $5 or $8 with audio guide (English only).</li>
<li>Children, elderly, military personnel, and students pay $4 or $7 with an audio tour.</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-158" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Elfreth’s Alley</h4>
<p>Finally, we arrive at Elfreth’s Alley, a true Philadelphia treasure. Many consider this little street to be the oldest in the whole United States. It is undoubtedly one of the tiniest, and finding it on a map of Philadelphia is much more difficult. However, we can assist you:</p>
<p><iframe style="border: 0;" src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m14!1m8!1m3!1d1529.246746633966!2d-75.142482!3d39.952718!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x0%3A0x2a546ebd6fb62e96!2sElfreth's%20Alley%20Museum!5e0!3m2!1sit!2sit!4v1670515933582!5m2!1sit!2sit" width="600" height="450" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-159" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><p>The roadway, which has been meticulously kept, dates from 1706. Instead, the 32 red brick buildings with colourful doors were constructed between 1728 and 1836. Walking along Elfreth’s Alley will undoubtedly transport you back in time. Take photographs with caution. The street is still inhabited today, and it is critical to respect the residents’ privacy.</p>
<p>You can tell how traditional it is in this photo taken from the site that grooms the street, Elfreth’s Alley;</p>

<p>Leaving the city’s historic area and heading towards Fairmount, you may visit one of the most important museums in the United States. The Philadelphia Museum of Art first opened its doors in 1876, as part of a centennial exhibition commemorating the hundred years of American freedom.</p>
<p>Since then, the museum has drawn millions of visitors and now houses over 240,000 works of art, including paintings, photos, and textile art. The museum’s collection of art spans more than 2,000 years, from current to ancient Egyptian. Degas, Picasso, Chagall, Van Gogh, and Mir are among the artists featured.</p>
<p>Finally, the admission fee is as follows:</p>
<ul>

</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-163" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">The famous Rocky Steps</h4>
<p>Perhaps not everyone is aware that the 72 steps going up to the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s entrance are a significant draw. Fans may recall the memorable scene in which Rocky Balboa rushes up this staircase and agrees to chase his goal.</p>
<p>Boxing and Rocky Balboa fans have made it a pilgrimage site since then. Spend a few minutes in front of the stairs and you’ll witness scores of visitors sprinting and snapping photographs.</p>
<p>Even if you are not a fan of the Stallone series, we recommend that you spend some time at this attraction. In fact, you can get a great view of the Philadelphia skyline from here.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-164" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Rocky ‘s Statue</h4>
<p>The Rocky Balboa Memorial Statue is another must-see for boxing and pop culture fans. Sylvester Stallone commissioned this 2-ton bronze statue in 1982 to shoot the Rocky trilogy.</p>
<p>Following the completion of filming, the city government opted to relocate the monument to the bottom of the stairway. It will be on your left as you depart the art museum. If you want to take a picture with Rocky, expect a ten-minute wait: there are many tourists who visit it every day.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-165" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Eastern State Penitentiary : Al Capone’s prison</h4>
<p>One of the most dreaded jails in the United States may be found in the Fairmount area. The jail first opened its doors in 1829 and closed them in 1971. It was a novel structure at the time. The goal of Eastern State Penitentiary was to overhaul the whole country’s prison system.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-image-element " style="text-align:center;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);"><span class=" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-30 hover-type-none"><img decoding="async" width="640" height="408" title="eastern-state-penitentiary" src="https://estatousa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/eastern-state-penitentiary.jpg" alt class="img-responsive wp-image-38356" srcset="https://estatousa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/eastern-state-penitentiary-200x128.jpg 200w, https://estatousa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/eastern-state-penitentiary-400x255.jpg 400w, https://estatousa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/eastern-state-penitentiary-600x383.jpg 600w, https://estatousa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/eastern-state-penitentiary.jpg 640w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></span></div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-166" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><p style="text-align: center;">Eastern State corridor</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-167" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><p>This framework, in reality, claimed to foster a rehabilitation system for convicts rather than the old punishing one. For this reason, an isolation system was built, which led to the collapse of the structure, which became overcrowded.</p>
<p>Here are some things not to miss when visiting the famous US penitentiary:</p>
<ul>
<li>The hole, literally the hole, or Klondike, provides a horrific example of a cell utilised for punitive isolation of inmates.</li>
<li>Al Capone’s cell, where he spent eight months in 1929. The look of the cell reveals the excellent treatment received by the prominent mobster at the time.</li>
<li>Cellblock 7, the most modern section of the prison, with its distinctive cathedral vault.</li>

<p>If you still have time after seeing the city’s top attractions, there are a few more things to do in Philadelphia:</p>
<ul>
<li>Brunch at the Italian Market: This outdoor market in South Philadelphia is a hallmark of the city’s Italian-American culture. At the same time, this neighbourhood is well-known for its unique restaurants, which are ideal for a Sunday brunch.</li>
<li>Visit Amish communities: A couple of hours outside of town in Pennsylvania, you may visit typical Amish farms. The communities around Lancaster, for example, are excellent places for a trip on the historic community carts.</li>
<li>A day at the stadium with the Philadelphia Eagles or the 76ers: if you enjoy sports, you must attend at least one of the city’s team games. The NFL season runs from August to February, whereas the NBA season runs from winter to spring.</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-169" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Conclusions: many good reasons to visit Philly</h4>
<p>Although it is not yet well-known among Italian tourists, Philadelphia is the throbbing heart of American history. We can only propose that you visit if you want to learn about the country’s more European aspect and colonial heritage.</p>
<p>Philadelphia has much more to offer than historical landmarks. As can be seen, there is no shortage of things to do in Philadelphia. From Rocky’s iconic stairs to Philadelphia 76ers games, we’re confident that this city will not disappoint.</p>

<p>Before choosing whether a career in the United States is suited for you, you need first learn about the work market in this nation. According to the US Department of Labor, foreign workers made up 17.1% of the US labour force in 2018.</p>
<p>As a result, American firms aggressively engage foreign labour, and it is easy to obtain work in the United States. The following demographic data about immigrant workers in America are particularly available:</p>
<ul>
<li>21.2% of foreign employees over the age of 25 do not have a high school diploma;</li>
<li>In contrast, 36.9% of foreign employees hold a three-year degree or higher education status.</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-174" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Most common professions to work in the USA</h4>
<p>Those who desire to work in America should be aware of the most common occupations among foreigners in the nation. Approximately 33% of foreign employees are employed in the management and highly skilled labour sectors. The most common industries are:</p>
<ul>
<li>finance and business</li>
<li>math and technology</li>
<li>medicine</li>
<li>instruction</li>
</ul>
<p>At the same time, 23% of foreign employees in the United States work in the service sector. These industries need less specialisation and hence allow you to work in America without a degree:</p>
<ul>
<li>setting at a hospital</li>
<li>catering</li>
<li>building and cleaning</li>
<li>personal attention</li>
</ul>
<p>Office employment and the sales sector employ around 15% of all foreign employees in the United States. Another 15% of non-US employees are employed in the manufacturing and materials transportation industries.</p>
<p>14% of foreign employees work in raw materials, construction, and maintenance.</p>
<p>It is critical to accurately analyse this data. For example, not all of the foreign employees reflected by these figures are here on a work visa.</p>
<p>Some may be in America to study or with a US or US-resident spouse. As a result, the remainder of this article will discuss which professions have the best chance of finding a sponsor to work in the United States.</p>

<p>It is not feasible to just relocate to the United States and begin working, as it is not possible in any other country. Obviously, there are rules that govern the techniques and constraints under which a foreigner may labour in the United States.</p>
<p>To relocate to and work in the United States, you must first get a visa that includes a work permit. Although American immigration law is fairly complicated, we may split work visas into two categories:</p>
<ul>
<li>Immigrant visas are provided to those who want to live permanently in the United States. In virtually all circumstances, these visas ensure the ability to work.</li>
<li>non-immigrant visas, such as those granted to persons wishing to study and work in the United States. However, not all visas in this category allow you to work in the US.</li>
</ul>

<p>As previously stated, the majority of the visas in this category allow you to work for yourself or seek for work in the United States. If you have one of these visas or are eligible to apply for one, you will be able to work in the United States.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-178" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">SPOUSE OR FAMILY MEMBER OF A US CITIZEN OR PERMANENT RESIDENT (IR AND CR VISAS)</h4>

</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-179" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">OCCUPATIONAL VISAS (CATEGORY E)</h4>
<p>These permits, which are not to be confused with temporary work visas, cover:</p>
<ul>
<li>individuals with exceptional abilities in science, academics, art, or business However, the ability must be shown and universally acknowledged. Those in this category are eligible to apply for an unsponsored visa to work in the United States.</li>
<li>academics and researchers having at least three years of worldwide renown;</li>
<li>CEOs and managers of global corporations or subsidiaries of US corporations</li>
<li>Investors eager to conduct business in the United States, resulting in employment creation</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-180" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Non-immigrant visas that allow you to work in the USA</h4>
<p>In most situations, the visas discussed thus far allow their holders to work freely in the United States. As a result, they make it much easier to obtain work in America. The non-immigrant visas listed here let you to work, but you must be aware of any restrictions.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-181" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">TEMPORARY WORK VISAS (CATEGORY H)</h4>
<p>Those who do not satisfy the requirements for an immigrant visa typically seek this sort of visa. However, keep in mind that the number of H visas issued each year is restricted. H visas also require you to work for a single company. A temporary work visa is not available to all workers. In actuality, category H is intended for:</p>
<ul>
<li>highly specialised professionals with certain qualifications (Visa H-1B);</li>
<li>Some nations send seasonal agricultural or non-agricultural employees.</li>

</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-184" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">STUDENT VISAS (CATEGORY F)</h4>
<p>Finally, student visas are appropriate for people who intend to attend a school or university in the United States. Although it is not a valid work visa, Category F permits you to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Part-time employment on the university campus;</li>
<li>complete an academic curriculum requirement by working as a trainee ( Curricular Practical Training or CPT).</li>
<li>Work in an area connected to one’s academic route following graduation or diploma, usually for up to a year ( Optional Practical Training or OPT).</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-185" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Practical tips for finding a sponsor to work in the USA</h4>
<p>An H visa is the easiest choice for people who are not qualified to immigrate to the United States permanently. But be aware that you cannot apply for an H-1B visa on your own. To work in America with this visa, you must obtain a sponsor.</p>
<p>To begin, we recommend the following steps:</p>
<ul>
<li>Learn which firms sponsor H-1B visas: While there is no official database, there are several facts available online on which firms want foreign staff. For example, the MyVisaJobs website provides statistics on firms who provide sponsorships. This contains the amount of sponsorships available as well as the average income paid to H-1B employees.</li>
<li>If you have an F-1 student visa, search for job in your university: academic institutions aggressively hire foreign workers. Furthermore, their sponsorship petitions do not fall under the US government’s yearly H-1B visa cap.</li>
<li>Examine the job offers and candidates: Once you’ve discovered potential sponsors for employment in the United States, we recommend that you apply for as many vacancies as possible. When you obtain a job offer, notify the firm of your requirement for sponsorship.</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-186" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Common sectors, companies and professions to obtain a sponsorship</h4>
<p>Employers ready to sponsor a foreign expert on an H-1B visa are often multinational organisations and huge corporations. After all, the sponsorship procedure is expensive for the firm, and only the larger ones can afford it. Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are good fields for anyone pursuing an H-1B visa (STEM).</p>
<p>This industry is in the forefront of attracting foreign talent. As a result, finding work as an engineer in the United States should be rather simple. In general, the following corporations provide the best sponsorship opportunities:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Apple</strong></li>
<li><strong>Google</strong></li>
<li><strong>Facebook</strong></li>
<li><strong>L&T Technology Services</strong></li>
<li><strong>Tech Mahindra</strong></li>
<li><strong>Syntel</strong></li>
</ul>

</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-188" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><p>Leading management and consulting organisations were among the first to apply for H-1B visas. To summarise, Ernst & Young was responsible for 17% of all H-1B visas awarded in 2018. If you are interested in this industry, the following firms may be of interest to you:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Ernst Young</strong></li>
<li><strong>Deloitte Touche</strong></li>
<li><strong>Capgemini</strong></li>
<li><strong>Accenture</strong></li>
<li><strong>PWC extension</strong></li>
<li><strong>Tata Consultancy Services</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>As previously stated, American institutions routinely seek for, and are granted, H-1B visas. If you want to work as a professor or researcher in the United States, these are the finest sponsors:</p>

<p>The H-1B visa was developed by US officials specifically to allow businesses to engage specialist foreign workers. As a result, not everyone is eligible for this sort of visa, and special conditions apply.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-190" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">DEGREE</h4>
<p>You must fulfil one of the following conditions to be eligible for sponsorship:</p>
<ul>
<li>a bachelor’s degree (or a US bachelor’s degree) in your field of expertise</li>
<li>Have a licence or certification that allows you to perform your profession in some circumstances;</li>
<li>However, if the prior standards are not met, you must demonstrate that you have experience comparable to a three-year degree.</li>
</ul>
<p>Finding job in America without a degree might be difficult without sponsorship. Non-graduate workers with a residency visa or other sort of working authorization are obviously exempt from this.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-191" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">NATURE OF EMPLOYMENT</h4>
<p>To qualify for a sponsorship, the post you are seeking for must fulfil at least one of the following criteria:</p>
<ul>
<li>A bachelor’s degree is required for the position in issue.</li>
<li>A bachelor’s degree in the appropriate sector is usually required for the employment. Alternatively, its specificity must be such that a three-year degree is required.</li>
<li>For this sort of profession, the employer typically demands a bachelor’s degree.</li>
</ul>
<p>Finally, keep in mind that finding a firm ready to sponsor you does not guarantee you a job in the United States. The US government will be allowed to accept or deny the company’s sponsorship proposal. Not all authorised requests result in the issuance of a visa.</p>
<p>Once you have secured an H-1B visa, you can stay in the United States for up to six years. This form of visa, fortunately, permits migratory intent and hence the opportunity to apply for a Green Card or permanent residence in the United States.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-192" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Mistakes not to make when looking for a job in the USA: ESTA and tourist visas</h4>
<p>It might be difficult to obtain work permission in the United States. As a result, some people attempt to work in America without a visa or on a tourist visa. However, looking for job or working while in the United States with an ESTA is strictly prohibited.</p>
<p>The Electronic Travel Authorization is appropriate for visitors visiting the United States as well as those attending business conferences or meetings. Those who violate these limits, on the other hand, may jeopardise their eligibility to travel and work in the United States.</p>
<p>Here are some of the probable outcomes:</p>
<ul>
<li>In the future, you will not be able to use an ESTA: even if you are a citizen of a state participating in the Visa Waiver Program, you will need to apply for a tourist visa.</li>
<li>Difficulty acquiring US visas: violating US immigration rules may, in some situations, bar you from receiving fresh visas in the future.</li>
<li>Travel ban to the United States: In the most egregious circumstances, US authorities may opt to bar anybody who breaches the country’s standards from entering the country.</li>
</ul>

<p>The formal name for the well-known Green Card is Permanent Residence Permit. As the name implies, it is a document that permits you to immigrate to and reside permanently in the United States. As a result, anyone has this document is eligible to work in America.</p>
<p>Green Card users are given a plastic card that contains all of their personal information. Carta Verde receives its name from the card’s distinctive green tint. In addition to the ability to live in the United States, permanent residency confers several benefits. Green Card holders are permitted to:</p>
<ul>
<li>serves in the United States military and several federal institutions</li>
<li>work for any company, with the exception of US federal entities;</li>
<li>be protected by federal, state, and local laws in the United States;</li>
<li>travel freely outside the United States for up to a year;</li>
<li>petition for a Green Card for family members, such as wives and children;</li>
</ul>
<p>However, becoming a permanent resident implies several responsibilities:</p>
<ul>
<li>follow all federal, state, and municipal laws in the United States;</li>
<li>finish your US tax return;</li>
<li>Finally, men between the ages of 18 and 25 should register with the Selective Service System.</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-199" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">How to get the Green Card and live in the USA?</h4>
<p>There are now 13.2 million permanent residents in the United States, accounting for around 4% of the total population. As a result, the number of Green Card holders remains quite low, and acquiring one may be rather difficult.</p>

</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-201" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><p>In actuality, there are just three major criteria that qualify for a Green Card, which we shall discuss further below:</p>
<ul>
<li>a family member’s petition;</li>
<li>Lottery for Green Cards;</li>
<li>prerequisites for employment</li>
</ul>
<p>Each of these categories has extra criteria for candidates. The anticipated wait periods for obtaining the permit also vary greatly. While some candidates can acquire a Green Card in one year, others must wait up to ten years.</p>

</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-205" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Green Card Lottery and Permanent Residency</h4>
<p>Every year, the US State Department holds a lottery to award 55,000 Green Cards. The Immigrant and Nationality Act of 1965 governs the effort, which aims to reduce prejudice in the admission of migrants.</p>
<p>Indeed, previous to the formation of the lottery, non-Northern European migrants were regularly discriminated against in the United States. Today, however, inhabitants of several countries, including Italy, can enter this lottery once a year for a chance to win a Green Card.</p>
<p>The goal of the lottery inspired the name of the visa awarded to the winner, Diversity Visa. However, there are prerequisites for participation and obtaining this visa.</p>
<ul>
<li>having finished at least secondary school (or have obtained an equivalent qualification). This criteria can be completed by working for two years in a position requiring at least two years of experience.</li>
<li>be a citizen of a nation that allows participation If you do not fulfil this condition, you can still participate by claiming that you are from the nation of your spouse.</li>
</ul>
<p>Every year, the US government prohibits people from certain nations from entering the lottery. In the previous five years, more than 50,000 people have moved to the United States from these states. As a result, the following nations did not participate in the most recent round of the Green Card Lottery, which concluded in October 2019 and is valid through 2021:</p>
<ul>
<li>bangladesh</li>
<li>Brazil</li>
<li>Canada</li>

<p>This article will be updated as soon as the countries excluded from the 2022 edition are announced. For the time being, it is known that the drawing for 2022, known as the DV2022 Lottery, will take place on March 1, 2021, and the winners will be announced on May 5, 2021.</p>

<p>Every year, from early October to early November, you can enter the lottery. In May, the winners are chosen at random by a computer, usually around the fifth of the month. If you submit more than one application per person, US authorities will reject your application.</p>
<p>Participation is simple, and you can apply for free through the Green Card Lottery’s official website by following these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Before beginning the registration process, gather all essential personal data: the standard ones like name, place and date of birth, data on children, spouses, and so on.</li>
<li>Make sure you have a photograph that passes DV Lottery requirements, which are often the same as those for a US passport or visa. The site will request a photo of you as well as images of your spouse and children, if relevant.</li>
<li>complete the online form: as you begin filling out the form, make frequent use of the “save” option. You are not required to complete the question in one sitting, and we recommend utilising browsers such as Chrome or Firefox.</li>
<li>Make a note of the code you will receive after submitting your application: After submitting the form, you will be granted a code through email, which you will use to monitor the progress of your application.</li>
<li>Check the status of your application: the Electronic Diversity Visa Lottery results are normally accessible from 5 May to 30 September.</li>
</ol>
<p>You merely need to input the code you were given after finishing the application in the relevant area of the official website. The code is required since you will not be alerted via email regardless of the outcome of your application.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-207" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">I have been selected: what to do?</h4>
<p>Being chosen does not ensure permanent residence in any way. If you are one of the lottery winners, you will be required to:</p>
<ol>
<li>Make an appointment at your nearest US Consulate. After you have verified the status of your application, you will be given specific instructions.</li>
<li>take the necessary medical exams and immunizations to acquire the Green Card;</li>
<li>Form DS-260 must be completed.</li>
<li>Finally, collect all relevant documents in English translation:
<ul>
<li>a printed copy of the appointment confirmation with the consultant;</li>
<li>print the confirmation page for the DS-260 form;</li>
<li>passport valid for at least 6 months from the appointment date</li>
<li>high school diploma or equivalent job experience</li>
<li>marriage licence;</li>
<li>inevitable annotation of the divorce or separation sentence;</li>
<li>family situation</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>pay the consular fee of $330 and show up for the interview.</li>
</ol>
<p>After the interview, the consular officer will decide whether or not to grant you a Green Card. If you get a positive response, you will now be able to live in the United States.</p>

<p>Another alternative for relocating to the United States is to qualify based on your job. This is an option for specialised foreign employees who are already temporarily resident in the United States. The following categories are eligible for work-based permanent residency:</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-209" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Priority Foreign Workers (E1 Visas)</h4>
<p>Annually, around 41,500 visas are available for these workers. The waiting period for this visa ranges from 18 months to 4 years. This category has three subgroups:</p>
<ul>
<li>Foreigners having “exceptional” abilities in the arts, sciences, academia, business, or sports;</li>
<li>foreign researchers and professors with internationally recognised skills and at least three years of experience;</li>
<li>Foreign executives and managers who obtain an intra-company transfer to the United States.</li>
</ul>

<p>This US work visa for Italians and other foreigners, however, is not always accessible. The yearly allotment is roughly 41,500 visas in years when the US authorities decide to give it.</p>
<ul>
<li>E3 visas are for professionals and skilled employees. The first group comprises everyone whose job needs a three-year degree or above. The second, on the other hand, is intended for people who work in a job that needs at least two years of experience or apprenticeship. Again, the maximum yearly number of visas is 41,500, which is not always accessible.</li>
<li>Ministers, religious workers, and former US government employees (E4 visas). This group receives little more than 10,000 visas every year from US authorities.</li>
<li>investors (E5 visas) (E5 visas). To qualify for this category, you must spend at least $900,000 in rural areas of the United States, generating at least 10 jobs. You must also contribute at least $1.8 million.</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-211" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">The main categories of Green Cards</h4>
<p>Given the vast number of possibilities that might lead to a person applying for a Green Card, its categories are likewise vast. The three primary categories connected to persons searching for job in the United States, known as “Employed-Based” or EB, are listed below.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-212" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">GREEN CARD EB1</h4>
<p>Outstanding professionals, such as prominent university professors or high-level CEOs, are eligible for this form of Green Card. It is also known as “First choice.”</p>
<p>Because it does not require any certification from the Department of Labor, this sort of green card (which is normally difficult to get unless in extremely particular instances) is processed faster than the other categories of green cards (DOL).</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-213" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">EB2 GREEN CARD</h4>
<p>EB2 is likewise reserved for top experts and labourers. In any event, the purchase of an EB2 type Green Card is contingent on a permanent work offer from an American employer. Also known as “second choice.”</p>
<p>Unless the professional in issue is on the National Interest Waiver registry, special certification from the Department of Labor is nearly usually necessary for this form of green card.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-214" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">EB3 GREEN CARD</h4>
<p>The EB3 green card category is designated for talented employees (of any category) who have been offered a permanent position by an American firm.</p>
<p>However, as previously stated, this sort of Green Card is subject to certain verification. The Department of Labor must certify that the particular foreign citizen will not have a negative impact on the American labour market.</p>
<p>This sort of Green Card is difficult to get and has lengthy waiting periods of up to two years. These processes, on the other hand, are frequently handled directly by the firm interested in recruiting that specific individual on a permanent basis.</p>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-215" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">GREEN CARD EB4</h4>
<p>This permanent immigrant visa is intended for foreign religious workers and minors whose guardianship has been entrusted to an American court for whatever reason.</p>
</div></div></div></div></div><div class="fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-53 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling" style="--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;" ><div class="fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap" style="max-width:1331.2px;margin-left: calc(-4% / 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% / 2 );"><div class="fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-52 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column" style="--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:10px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:10px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;"><div class="fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column"><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-216" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Permanent residency and U.S. citizenship</h4>
<p>Take caution not to mix up permanent residency with US citizenship. Obtaining the former does not, however, ensure access to the latter. Let’s look at what distinguishes a Green Card from American citizenship.</p>
<ul>
<li>Permanent residency, unlike citizenship, does not grant the right to vote or hold public office.</li>
<li>Permanent residency can be removed, although losing US citizenship is extremely unusual. Being convicted of a major crime or being abroad for more than a year might result in the revocation of permanent status.</li>

</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-219" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><p>Regardless of these distinctions, a foreigner must be a permanent resident in order to be naturalised. Here’s how to apply for US citizenship:</p>
<ul>
<li>must be at least 18 years old</li>
<li>having lived in the country for at least 5 years For spouses of US citizens, the minimum is three years.</li>
<li>evidence that you have lived in the United States for the last 5 years prior to filing for naturalisation;</li>
<li>establish that you have spent at least 30 months of these 5 years physically in the United States;</li>
<li>having resided in the federal state where you are applying for at least three months;</li>
<li>be able to communicate in English on a basic level;</li>
<li>learn about the history and civic ideas of the United States</li>
<li>show a commitment to the ideas and goals of the American Constitution</li>
</ul>
<p>Following completion of these criteria, you will need to:</p>
<ul>
<li>pass an English language exam as well as a civics exam on US history and culture</li>
<li>Attend an interview with a US officer</li>
<li>Finally, in a public ceremony, swear allegiance to the United States.</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="fusion-text fusion-text-220" style="--awb-text-color:#000000;"><h4 class="sub-heading ">Final considerations: is it possible to move to the USA with the Green Card?</h4>
<p>Permanent residency, often known as a Green Card, is the only American visa that permits you to live and work in the United States without limits. However, as we have seen, acquiring it is far from straightforward, and in order to request it, one must belong to well-defined groups.</p>
<p>The most convenient method to live permanently in America is to have relatives who are permanent residents or citizens of the United States. In any case, the wait for family-based Green Cards can be quite extensive.</p>
<p>Work-based immigration can be considerably more complicated because the traits necessary are extremely particular.</p>
