US Visa Waiver for Chilean Citizens, when will it go into effect?
From what I read on site for US Embassy in Santiago, the Chile has been nominated US Visa Waiver program.

Now, does anyone have idea when this should come into effect that Chilean citizen will no longer need to apply for US visa?
If I have some uncertain/possible travel plans for the end of 2014, should I go ahead and apply for US Visa or should I wait until this program will go into full effect?
