It looks like I will be getting myself a new passport shortly. My present one (machine readable) expires in 18 months. If I renew next year, I won't have biometric data on it, so I'll have to get a visa to get into the US.

I definitely don't want to travel to London (and go through all the hassle as well as pay the visa fees) to get a visa every time I need (note: need, not want) to go to the US.

So, by renewing before October, I don't need to get a visa. I will probably be high on the list of suspect individuals for dodging the new rules by getting a new passport 18 months early, but so be it...
