to reapply or not to reapply....?
HI
I travelled to US last Sept and when i went into ESTA to update my application as I'm travelling again in Nov, it redirected me to a new application, eventhough my origianl applicaiton shold ahve been valid for 1 more year.
Now when i enter my old number it says it has expired. when I enter my new number which was approved originally I now get the message 'no application found'.....
I also applied as a 3rd party for my mother - received approval at time and saved notification but the file format is unrecognisable. So when i go back and re-enter her number in order to save a copy to a word document, it says the number is invalid.
So not sure where I stand. Should I re-apply from scratch for both?
Is anyone else having similar issues?
I wonder is it due to the introduciton of fees and the site getting slammed prior to this.
They also ask for a contact email but I never received any confrimation. Did everyone else who's application went through receive a confirmation email from ESTA?
Fiinally - I advise everyone to either print out their application straightaway or save to a word document, not just print to file, just for your records as they dont look for the actual print out when travelling. (well they didnt last time even though i had a copy)
Cheers for any tips
