This may be a very silly question, but do i still need to apply for the ESTA when i fly into the US even though i've already been granted my K1 and have the visa in my passport? I've only got a one way flight as well.

Thanks

I actually got my ESTA renewal notice via email ... and I was like ... um .. do I still have to do that ?

I found ESTA email address and sent them a message asking if I had to renew.

I was told, anyone holding a valid resident card didnt require ESTA anymore. ESTA for me, when I did have to apply, took less than 5 minutes. So I would think, for peace of mind, to have my ESTA number valid until I had the residency card in hand.

Jon--

When we flew out of Heathrow, the line checker guy was repeating to everybody "do you have your ESTA?" Don't let something like that put you in a panic. The answer is " No, I'm traveling on a visa,"
