So heading over to NYC for a wedding late next month, flying via Korea on Asiana. Earlier this year when SWMBO and I flew into LAX, she had some passport issues. They started by saying that she didn't have a valid ESTA (which she did) and that she wouldn't be granted entry (which she was). They then took her into another section of LAX and wouldn't let me come in. 45 minutes later she was released and told it was a glitch with the passports and that there was a run of a few hundred Australian passports produced in a set time that needed to be checked. When she went into the room there were 12 other Australian's all waiting. Same scenario.
For her troubles, they gave her a TSA green tick for the rest of the trip (about another 5 or 6 internal flights). Fast forward and this time we are flying into JFK direct from ICN.
I posted about this earlier this year, wondering what do you think the chances are it will still be in issue and do we have an avenue to address this with DFAT?
Thoughts? Advice?
