I've just gone through the fun of completing my ESTA application for entry into the US.
No, I don't plan on engaging in criminal or terrorist behaviour, honest Guv. Really don't understand why such pointless questions are asked - logic would say that if someone were planning to commit something a little shady, the last thing they would do is acknowledge that on a visa application.
Anyway, got this response:-
Authorization Pending
Your travel authorization is under review because an immediate determination could not be made for your application. This response does not indicate negative findings. A determination will be available within 72 hours. Please return to this Web site and choose Update or Check the Status of a Previously Submitted Authorization to Travel to the United States. Your application number, passport number, and birth date will be required to check the status of your application.
Not sure if I should be worried...
Oh no, you didn't declare that thing about the the you know what did you?.. :)
ReplyDeleteI got the same thing. I went back to check again 5 days later and copied and pasted my application number that I'd saved into the relevant box and gave my other details.
ReplyDeleteThe site then said it couldn't find my application - that it had no record of it basically, even though I'd already been charged on my Credit Card. It said I would have to apply again.
Anyway, after some moments of panic, I tried not copying and pasting and I finally saw that it had been approved, although of course they can still stop you from entering at PP control - so Gareth, don't say you've come to Vegas for some "Non-Gambling Fun" - highly suspicious...
So are we officially boarding at Glasgow or Manchester?
ReplyDeleteManchester.
ReplyDeleteI don't think we get off the plane at Glasgow on the outbound leg, but we do on the inbound leg from what I can gather from the awful description on the ticket.
Again, all of the boarding stuff was optional so I left it blank. Probably why I'm waiting for the approval!
ReplyDeleteI just put MGM Grand, Las Vegas as the address on mine. Do you think I need more detail?
