Can take anything upto 72 hours, last time i did mine in the morning around 9am and it didn't approve until after 2pm..just luck of the draw.

I'd be checking my insurance and preparing myself for a worst case scenario to be honest.

Mine took about 24 hrs earlier this year

It can take up to 72 hours officially. There’s no telling how long. Sometimes it’s minutes and sometimes hours. Have you got a new passport since you last checked? Have you got a print out of the ESTA?

What an absolute nightmare for you. Keeping everything crossed that it comes through ok. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

There isn't an average time given, some can take minutes, hours or days...just depends on the site progresses for you unfortunately.

Sorry it's not what you want to hear but unfortunately no-one knows.

I genuinely hope it's minutes considering where you are right now

Get searching your emails for CBP.DHS.Gov

Have you looked on line for your original Esta yourself ?

Rachy 22 Aug 19 09:01 AM

Yep can’t original application now. It says application not found. There was about a month left on it because I checked it was suitable. Seriously stressed right now 😞

Mymemories 22 Aug 19 09:01 AM

How did you check you still had 3 months on it ? Can you log into your ESTA again and take a screenshot of the page to prove you have 3 mo the left ?

Bee happy 22 Aug 19 09:01 AM

I done my sons ESTA on Tuesday night took around 40/50 mins to be approved,good luck
