VISA Waiver Program to USA

[Dr Ralph]

Hello. How long is everyone waiting lately for a ESTA approval?

Last time I submitted an application for my wife and I, in 2018, it took less than 24 hours.l for approval.

Both of us are Aussies who have never broken the law. I have a Sri Lankan heritage but became a citizen at age 2.

This time we are also submitting an ESTA for our 3 year old daughter.

Cheers

24 to 48 hrs.

I am currently unemployed.
Would there be a problem when I apply for an ESTA?

Shouldn't be a problem applying for an ESTA. But you might get some extra questions on arrival.

As an aside, I applied for my latest ESTA on Saturday evening and it was approved 3 hrs later.

Thank you for replying.
I will apply for Global Entry too when it's open. Hopefully I will get approved and won't get extra questions upon arrival

3 hours is quick actually. I will apply tonight and see what happens.
