Hi All,

 

do you still need an ESTA when you are travelling to the US after your interview but haven’t gone through the Customs/Border protection yet to get your passport stamped?

 

now it’s not really a problem to be safe than sorry and just renew mine. 
but could still save some $

 

Thanks.

If you have a valid USA visa in your passport, you do not need an ESTA to fly to the USA. You might be required to check in at the airport, as a lot of airlines only let you check in online if you have an ESTA. 


If you are transfering on a US airport but your final destination is not in the US, you still need an ESTA. 

Reading is what? Fun-da-men-tal!

 

especially during your Visa Journey

I'd think the safest thing would be holding off visiting the US until you get CR-1 visa in passport. Travelling on ESTA after interview may confuse CBP and create all sorts of delays / scrutiny at the border.

If you already got the CR-1 visa, you don't need ESTA. Just enter with CR-1.

Do you get the CR1 visa from the embassy? 
 

I thought you would get the stamped visa at the point of entry?

 

thanks both for the reply :)

The CR-1 visa is the document fixed in your passport by the embassy or consulate that gives you permission to seek admission to the United States as an immigrant at a port of entry.

 

Said in layman’s terms: its permission for you to get in the plane.
