We traveled to Orlando in March this year and have just re-booked for February 2020. After seeing this thread I though I would contact U.S. customs as ESTA’s are valid but have no middle names as these were approved in May 2018.
I got this response - Thank you for contacting the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Information Center. In most cases, your ESTA travel authorization will be valid for two years. You must obtain a new ESTA if you: 1. Receive a new passport, including an emergency or temporary passport; 2. The passport holder's name changes; 3. The passport holder's gender changes; 4. The passport holder's country of citizenship changes; or 5. You need to change your responses to any of the "yes" or "no" questions on the ESTA application. Would appear we do not need new ESTA’s as they are all ready approved. |

Are you being deliberately obtuse regarding US law on an updated official US document intended to permit one to board their flight to the US? Have you seen the US reply to Gillian that states if passport and ESTA names do not match boarding may be denied? This isn't a joke, panic or scaremongering, it's written within the updated ESTA application, that one should read in it's entirety.
If you chose to ignore then fair enough, but stop advising people to ignore the updated ESTA application, on the other hand you could always email the DHS and advise you believe their recent name update is causing panic and scaremongering, see how far that gets you.

So, you've repeatedly advised people to now ESTA complete names as per the official DHS name ruling, but then state it's a fact that it doesn't matter either way. Did you contact the DHS re your fact? Which do they support your professed fact or their official ruling?

We did ours again, just to be safe. For the sake of $14 i’d rather be safe than sorry.

It’s a fact in as far as you know no one has been turned away. Do you have access to all entry status?
Probably no one has, but when someone gets stopped in the queue and asked further questions because they haven’t filled out their ESTA correctly, their response of “But Wooden Top from the Dibb says it doesn’t matter” won’t Way it with DHS. BTW ChrisS has helped many people in the past in all areas on the Dibb ( inc me ). I’d take her advice anyday. In this case her advise follows the DHS regulations including some screenshots from others that show responses from DHS saying you should redo ESTA if you missed it out middle name in error. Now that is a printed fact! |
