Funnily enough, a chap I know went to Boston a couple of months ago,
for a six-month fellowship at Harvard. Couldn't get a visa appointment
in London within any reasonable time-scale so had to fly to Belfast
and stay overnight.
The last time I went to the States, only about a year and a half ago,
you didn't need a visa. Has this changed?
Were you going as a tourist or to a business meeting, and for no more
than three months?
Those are the usual qualifications for not needing a Visa.
AND
[snip lots of unusual things for someone living in UK]
So there are many reasons why someone might need a visa.
The most usual being that they want to study, to work, or to live there.
