Answer 1

If your partner is from any of the following countries,

Andorra Australia Austria Belgium Brunei Denmark Finland France Germany Iceland Ireland Italy Japan Liechtenstein Luxembourg Monaco the Netherlands New Zealand Norway Portugal San Marino Singapore Slovenia Spain Sweden Switzerland United Kingdom

plans to stay in the US for less than ninety days, and has a machine-readable passport valid for at least six months past his last expected day in the US; then, no, he does not need a visa.

Additional passport requirements may apply. Please see source for more information.

Answer 2

It depends on where you're visiting from.

Here's the US State Department's website http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/temp_1...

You may be eligible for the Visa Waiver Program.
