okay foxylady is that all i have to do them?
Make sure to bring the form with you when going , but you still have to fill one out in the aiport as well.
ohhhh why have i to do that!!!!!
No need to bring the ESTA print out with you. It's all logged against your passport number.
OP - Green cards are for permanent residents of the US only. Although it doesn't help that the Visa Waiver slips we get are also green coloured.
Once you have the ESTA filled in and have got approval that's all you need to have done in advance. Your airline will also require an address for you in the US but no need to give that til check in. When you get to the airport they will also give you a form to fill in for the Visa Waiver (as it's not gone paperless yet but it's the same info you filled in online) and a customs form.
The other thing you should sort is travel insurance. For the US it's vital (make sure the medical cover is at least $2,000,000).

Ah marybm go on fill me in.......
Shesells,
Thanks so much for all the information, i have all the esta forms filled out online and printed incase!! loads different people saying different things as i was getting all muddled over it, and telling us to be there 3 hours before flight etc as it be very busy, we are BMI to london first with 3 hour stopover, then onto United Airlines for San Francisco,
A mate of mine was in US last year and she got insurance before travelling and while over there she got a bite by insect and spent a night in hospital on a drip and was giving pain killers and antibiotics and when she got back to ireland she got a bil of $4000 from the hospital to pay, and her insurance company are fighting the issue with her now that she has to pay the majority, you'd wonder then why bother with insurance if they are going to be like that and not pay up!!
If you're flying to London first then 90 mins before the flight time here should be more than enough to get through security. As you're not going directly from Ireland you will clear immigration in the US and not in Dublin (which is why you don't need the 3 hours).
As for insurance...insurance covers a lot more than health but while your friend had a difficult time with her medical cover...I know so many people that incurred hundreds of thousands of dollars of medical bills over there for the simplest of things. My cousin collapsed in the check in queue in LAX and the ambulance, treatment and one night hospital stay would have cost her $250,000 if she wasn't insured!
