I want to travel to usa? -

i want to travel to usa do i need a visa ? if so how can i get one...im from englandi have a criminal record wich aint too bad but aint too good if this mattersplease explain to me how to go about doin this

Since you have a criminal record, you cannot travel to the U.S. under the visa waiver program. You may or may not qualify for a visa. See sites below.

For up to six months of visit, you do not need a visa to enter USA. I am from Japan and been living in USA for 35 years now, whenever my folks come for a visit to USA, they do not have any visa. They of course visit for only 2 weeks.

New York City does have a large Hispanic population, and Puerto Ricans are one of the top 5 largest ethnic groups of NYC.Spanish Harlem (also known as El Barrio) is in upper Manhattan. The most famous street of El Barrio is East 116th st. El Barrio basically is from East 100th st to around East 125th st, and is between 5th Avenue and the East River.Washington Heights is another Hispanic neighborhood, and most of the hispanic residents there are Dominican.To get to Washington heights, take the A or C to any stop between 153rd st and 175th st. You can also take the D and the 1 to get to the heights. The most famous corner/a.k.a. the heart of the heights is 168th st and Broadway.In Brooklyn, Williamsburg has a good mixed hispanic population, which is concentrated on the South Side. To get there, take the J and get off anywhere between Marcy Avenue and Flushing Avenue. You can also take the L and get off at Montrose Avenue or Graham Avenue and then walk South from there. Or, you can also take the G and get off at the Broadyway station.Bushiwck also has a Hispanic population, and Bushwick is right next to Williamsburg.As for Queens, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, and Corona have the largest Hispanic Areas. To get to those areas, take the 7 and get off anywhere between 69th st and 111th st. You can also take the E,F, R or V to the 74th st/Roosevelt station.As for the Bronx, Hunts Point, Morrisania, and the whole South Bronx area have a good Hispanic population.To get to those areas, you can take the 1,2,4,5,6 or the D.

Facts:About 8 million people live in NYCKings (Brooklyn) is the 7th most populated county in the U.SQueens is the 9th most populated county in the U.SNYC is the most city with the most Hispanics in the U.SNYC has people from all different backgrounds, and cultures.

8 million, sure, that s a large population.I would say the Hispanic population is one of the largest minority groups in the city. So you won t have any problems finding them in any of the boroughs.

If you can find Yahoo Answers on the internet you can certainly find LOTS of information about New York City! Search engines are your friend.

How do you get to Roosevelt mall from flushing? -

I live in flushing and I wanna go to Roosevelt field mall by subway.Does anyone know what subway to take?

NYC Subway does not go into Nassau County.There is Long Island Bus available at Flushing-Main St (Rooseelt Av/Union St.Here is how you could go.Step 1: Take N20 Hicksville Glen Clove Rd.Step 2: Transfer to N27 Hempstead to Roosevelt Field.Fare is same as NYCT and MTA Bus which is $2.25 and transfer is free within 2 hours.Bus does not acccept dollar bills. Coins or MetroCard only.If you paid by coin, ask for free transfer.Bus Stop at Roosevelt Field is across parking garage, and you need to climb up three levels to main entrance.

go south on prince st. turn right at new york 25A w/northern blvd. Go on ramp to grand central pkwy east. Keep right on fork follow signs to kennedy airport. keep left on fork merge into i-495 east. Go on exit 38 for northen pkwy east torwed hauppauge. merge to northen state pkwy. go to exit 31A to merge into medowbrook state pkwy south to jones beach. take exit m2 west toward shopping mall. right at zeckendorf blvd. take 1st right onto ring road east. take 1st left.DESINATION REACHED!!! (20 min no traffic) 19.5 min.

It is well beyond the reach of subways. What you would need to do is to get to the Jamaica bus terminal. Many buses will take you there like the Q20, A or B,the Q44 or the Q65 to name a few.Then you would have to get the Nassau bus, either the 22 or the 24. Be prepared for a long ride.
