Re: Question about US CBP

Re: Previous visa refusal - ESTA?

An even finer point....
Thanks for the informative posts as always, especially Rene and Ian. It's at least armed me with sufficient information to interpret CBP's frustrating Double Dutch! My own...

Re: Previous visa refusal - ESTA?

Re: Previous visa refusal - ESTA?

Sadly CBP has responded recommending that I re-apply with the correct names of my parents. I think I may just do that for my own peace of mind. Kicking myself for not picking this up when triple...
