• After 23 months of closure, the borders of the United States are open again.

  • Some of our readers didn't wait long to get to the country.

  • For the family, for work, they bear witness.

"America, I want it, and I will have it ..." With all due respect to Joe Dassin, to tread on Uncle Sam's cow soil, it was necessary to chomp on the brakes.

For no less than 23 months, it was almost impossible to get to the United States.

On the occasion of the reopening of the borders for the vaccinated people, we asked our readers if they were going to rush to the next plane bound for "America."

"

Two years, when you have family on the other side of the Atlantic, that's a long time.

Worse, a number of events can happen during such a period of time, so much so that the life of Matthew, who lives in San Francisco, has little to do with that before the Covid: “During these 2 years, a lot of things happened that I could not fully share with my family: I got married, and had a little girl Amélie.

This week, when her mother arrives, the surge of emotions may be quite violent.

"We will finally be able to see each other," concludes the expatriate.

And this time in real life, not in video.

"Maternal and paternal love is the strongest"

Brigitte, who is a mother, left on November 10 to join her daughter and her son-in-law who she misses "terribly", despite the technical difficulties: "We accept all the constraints due to Covid: vaccination, PCR test, documents to be completed … Of course, there are costs, but maternal and paternal love is the strongest. "

Because yes, the conditions to enter the United States are very precise, and if by chance you wanted to go there, you had better be as prepared as Caroline, who will join her sister and her 3 nephews. “Be careful,” she warns, “You need a complete vaccination course with at least two doses! I only had one dose because I had had the Covid, but the United States does not accept this pattern! "That's not all, know that" the price of plane tickets have been at least x2 since the announcement of the reopening of the borders ... "Now you know.

Among the testimonies that we have received, if the family remains the number 1 engine to make the crossing, there are some who, like Yann, are planning to finally try the “American dream”: I was supposed to go to work at Disney World in March 2020, everything was ready, but obviously the covid crisis and the closing of the borders have turned everything upside down.

After almost 2 years of endless waiting, I will finally be able to take off for the USA in early 2022!

»Good luck and good morning Mickey!
