ESTA ? with IR visa
Good evening BE...
I was just thinking, I have my IR-1 visa in my passport and am planning my trip to the USA in Jan 2011. Do I still need to log onto the ETSA website and give me details??? just a little confused on this process. Your advice would be awesome..
Thank you.

As far as I can tell, ESTA registration is only needed if you're travelling under the Visa Waiver Program. If you have a visa, then you don't need to ESTA.

That is correct. If you have a valid visa, no ESTA is required. ESTA is only for VWP entrants.
