All credit to Rachy who seems to have accepted this mishap with such good grace.
What should have been an exciting day to start her holiday has turned into an unfortunate nightmare. I am sure some good karma will come her way over the rest of the holiday to offset today's experience. By sharing her story, as I am sure it has highlighted an issue with the ESTA process that few were aware of, and hopefully others can avoid in the future. |

You have missed the entire point of the thread in that case.
It was starting the process to change the ESTA which caused the problem. |

Not unpopular, just unnecessary.
If an ESTA is valid for the duration of the stay (plus a few days extra in case any delay leaving etc) then that is sufficient. Having a new one would be no different to the original one. So not foolish in the slightest IMO. They could have had a valid one for 2 full years and had an issue locating it and be in the same predicament. Edited at 03:47 PM. |

So pleased that you are sorted and wish you the most fantastic holiday.
I think more than anything, its not why this happened or if you could have avoided it, what has shone through for me is your incredible mental strength and resolve to get this sorted in the most efficient manner. Hats off to you, there are many who would have crumbled given such a mountain to climb. You are a true credit to our dibber community. Well done and more hugs Disney332

Just to clarify. An ESTA only needs to be valid on the day of entry to USA, not for the duration of stay.

We have friends got delayed two full days. They just turned up at Alamo and they didn't even bat an eyelid. No charge or anything.
I suspect the charge is the HA broker getting the arm in. Edited at 04:50 PM. |
