My recollection was that it was an issue with a specific batch of new Aussie passports though
Ah, yes, I recall that too now.

That makes sense. I think I read that Israel taps into the same travel pattern history as the US.
Not this cookie.Of course if the 'no Israel' countries start doing the same thing, many of us will be stuffed going to some neat places, like Sudan ...![]()
The Application Number/ID IS the number.Yes, that bothered me. But I've been back to the site, and looked, and there's no specific number, only the application ID. The status page specifically says 'approved for travel to the USA', so I've printed that out. Just not what I expected, or remembered from last time.
USA CBP certainly link old and new passports. I renewed mine 13 months ago and my USA entry/exit history (available here: I94 - Official Website ) results span both the old and new when entering the new.

You can use the application number, PP number and D.O.B. to look up your ESTA here:
I got a new one in late Sep after my last one expired.I got a group ESTA for my son and myself just the other day. You get an email after you complete the application, with a few details on it, and that was all. After that, to check on the status, you need to log in to their site with the details from the email. All it said was that we were both approved to travel to the USA. I expected some form of number, but I assume it’s attached in their records to your passport.
I just tried that site.USA CBP certainly link old and new passports. I renewed mine 13 months ago and my USA entry/exit history (available here: I94 - Official Website ) results span travel with both the old and new passports. I only entered the new.
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou. I thought I was going mad. I cannot find it here but yes it was reported by some AFFers. I can’t find out the specifics.
It showed all my visits beginning from when this I94 query tool was introduced in 2014.I just tried that site.
Entered current passport details, get "No record found for traveler."
I've had 1-3 US entries a year for the last 13 years.

CBP documents travel from a variety of sources. This travel history is only a tool to assist the public and is not an official record for legal purpose.
Well at least they are rather inexpensive.This will be annoying when near real time Esta is needed.
Two years ago my family and I had PR tickets SYD-MNL-GUM rtn from the excellent J sale PR were running. At SYD cx-in the PR staff wanted confirmation of our Esta. I had checked and rechecked that there was a separate VWP for Guam and the CNMI and we were good with Aus passports. (Esta only required if going on from Guam to USA proper) Our previous Estas had expired.
Staff were adamant we would not be checked in without Esta, even after being shown CBP official webpage with the Guam info and the Guam government page with same info. We got straight to tapping and acquired Estas rather than continuing arguing as we would've been denied travel. Even though they were wrong...
The ESTA only needs to be valid when you enter the US.Is there any requirement for validity after the date of travel, ie traveling 6th Jan, esta expiring 9th Jan
This another new requirement right? Don't recall applying for Canadian visas in 2009.I must get down to doing our ESTA and Canadian Visa before we hand over a large slab of money next month. New passports and all that.
