There are 36 countries, mostly European, that fall under the VISA Waiver Program and citizens from those countries need to apply for ESTA or Electronic System for Travel Authorization. This authority is made available for travelers coming to the US for business or tourist purposes. Passengers travelling to US for transit purposes also need to apply for the same, while for other purposes like study, travelers are required to apply for a regular VISA.

Prerequisites

There are certain requirements set by the US government for the passengers travelling from VWP countries to apply for the ESTA authorization. The requirements are as listed below.

  • The applicant must be able to produce a valid passport that could be readable by the machines for the purpose.
  • The purpose of travel to the US must be business, transit or tourist purpose only.
  • The maximum duration of the stay of the applicant in the United States must not exceed 90 days.

While these are the requirements for the application of the ESTA under the US VISA Waiver Program, the grant of ESTA authorization is based on various measures which are verified by the embassy officials. A mere grant of ESTA doesn’t allow the applicant to enter the US; rather a last step of verification is required to be completed on the entry to the US. The immigration officers check every person entering the US for the originality of the documents and the purpose of his/her entry to the US. The person can be rejected from the immigration department at the entry to the US for some genuine reason and doesn’t have any right to appeal against this denial. Thus, travelers visiting USA are advised to be polite to the immigration officers and treat them with courtesy. Also, they shouldn’t give any sort of hint to the immigration officers that they have any intention of staying for more than 90 days in the country. The applicants who have applied for the ESTA authority get the form I-94W or the VISA Waiver green form attached to their passport, which they need to surrender on returning back from the US.

There are a lot of agents providing assistance to the applicants for getting the positive results from the visa counselors. There are only a few, which are successful in getting every application made through them approved.
