🚨 URGENT: ESTA Changed from APPROVED to PENDING Before Travel? Read This. 🇺🇸✈️

A number of people's ESTA have unexpectedly changed from Approved back to Authorization Pending just days before their trip to the United States.

After speaking directly with the ESTA support team, their application has been reviewed and the following day it was back to Approved.

If you’re in the same situation, don’t panic. It may be worth contacting U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to ask if there are any notes or issues attached to your application.

💡 Helpful Tip: If the automated system asks for your passport or application number, some travellers report that waiting through the prompts can route you to a human representative.
