we plan to have the baby's U.S passport before travel, no he does not have a UK one yet.
just for clarity we are in the U.S since 4 years both Uk citizens and was not aware we could enter back in if we left for a trip to the U.K because of not having the valid visa stamp in the passport yet. (although we had renewal approval since MAY 28 this yr).

However, I am unsure if the baby can travel on an ESTA given the US citizenship status (assuming a UK passport has been issued)? As per https://help.cbp.gov/s/article/Artic...language=en_US, "U.S. Citizens are not required to have an ESTA and are required to use their U.S. passport to travel to the U.S."

ok per some other threads in here there is a big delay / backlog on them (like multipel months) I think I recall you have to apply in person with both parents present to avoid extra paperwork.
a good trick for the photo is to lay a white sheet on the ground and baby on top of it… easier than trying to hold them up for a picture.

we have our Sons US passport, given that we do not have Valid Visa (only I-797A approvals for L1B + L2) can we travel back to uk and re-enter the US as L1 or would it only be Esta?.
I am guessing at this stage the only way we could get back in (in a working capacity under L1) is if we schedule an appointment outside of u.s to get the Visa.

Once you obtain the non-immigrant visa concomitant with the petition approvals, you are free to apply for admission to the US.

It appears I missed an important fact, not digesting information correctly.
