URGENT: Flying to NY and Miami from UK - help needed please

Post by submon » Sun Aug 21, 2022 8:26 pm

Hi,

I have got my ESTA to the USA from the UK.

My plan is to fly to New York for 4 days, then from New York to Miami for 2 days, then back to New York and stay in NY for 3 more days before flying back to the UK.

I wanted to ask if this is possible, or do I have to stay in just NY?

Similar to arriving in London and then going onto Edinburgh, etc.

Hi Guys,

I was just going through my ESTA form. I have got the ESTA, so all good there.

However, when I was just going through my form again, I noticed an error on my part.

In the box to fill my father’s name, I mentioned my father’s surname in the GIVEN NAME box as well as in the SURNAME box.

Would that be any problem at the USA border control, please? Does anyone know? Should I apply for my ESTA again? Really worried now that I may not be allowed entry due to this.

Please help anyway, and thank you very much in advance.

You didn't need to start a new topic for this. You could easily have continued in your other thread.
@CR001 can you please merge this.

American Border Force are pretty much as crazy as they come. For peace of mind, you can apply again. It only costs $21. ESTA gets approved in less than 48 hours, sometimes instantly. It would override your previous approval.

It's a minor mistake, but there's no telling how things would pan out, except one has a crystal ball (Nostradamus style).
No sin in failing, you just have to try and try again!
