URGENT HELP REQUIRED ON ESTA

Post by urginfo » Mon Oct 24, 2022 10:31 am

Hi All,

I hope someone can help me out in this situation. I applied for US visitor visa DS160 on non-british passport few months ago and have an appointment in November but now I have received my british passport.
So what should I do now;

Should I attend the interview on non british passport ?

or just apply ESTA and leave my previous application in progress as it is ?

or should I cancel my appointment on non british passport application first and apply ESTA ?

Have you ever applied for a US visa before?
Have you ever been granted or refused a US visa before?

If none of the above applies, it becomes easier.

Apply for ESTA on you British passport, you should get a reply in 24 hours most likely 12 hours (If you've never been refused a US visa before).

If you get the ESTA, don't bother turning up for the USA visa interview. You can only have 1 or the other.
If you do get rejected at the interview, it could eventually affect your ESTA.

How long do you plan on staying in the USA?
If you plan on staying up to 6 months in a single trip, then go get the visa.
If 3 months max is enough on a single trip, then stick with the ESTA on British P.
No sin in failing, you just have to try and try again!

thanks for your response, but how do I cancel my application.

I tried to cancel the appt date but it says book new date not withdrawing the application or so. I am planning to stay max 10 days in US.

I haven't applied ESTA yet as my one application is already at interview stage on non british passport and its not letting me cancel it. So I blv I can't apply another application until previous once is cancelled. Kindly advise.
