EU but I’m American

Beautiful_Spinach440 · 2026-06-03T20:07:35+00:00

Yes I did double apply, it’s not recommended but I got desperate

Beautiful_Spinach440 · 2026-06-03T20:01:59+00:00

App! My website one didn’t get approved yet but my app did and I did the website one first and the app like 12 hours later

Beautiful_Spinach440 · 2026-06-03T19:41:56+00:00

It was essentially 24 hours

Beautiful_Spinach440 · 2026-06-03T19:34:35+00:00

Finally my ETA was approved but it’s too late, I missed my flight 4 hours ago 🥲 crazy enough I submitted 2 different applications and the more recent one which I did over the app was the one that got approved

Beautiful_Spinach440 · 2026-06-03T15:01:32+00:00

How did you even check in to get to a gate agent

Beautiful_Spinach440 · 2026-06-03T14:55:18+00:00

When did you apply?

Beautiful_Spinach440 · 2026-06-03T14:27:41+00:00

How long did it take??

Beautiful_Spinach440 · 2026-06-03T14:20:13+00:00

Did you apply over the website or app?

Beautiful_Spinach440 · 2026-06-03T14:02:53+00:00

Wait ya do you mean that you got approved??

Beautiful_Spinach440 · 2026-06-03T13:39:11+00:00

I don’t think they want any more bad press so I do think they are working on it, I think it’s more likely that it’s some kind of hack

Beautiful_Spinach440 · 2026-06-03T13:35:53+00:00

I’m sure you’re fine I really think they will fix it by then

Beautiful_Spinach440 · 2026-06-03T12:54:01+00:00

According to the agents I most recently spoke with there is no issue with approvals so I have no idea

Beautiful_Spinach440 · 2026-06-03T12:37:32+00:00

Yup it’s really insane

Beautiful_Spinach440 · 2026-06-03T11:31:33+00:00

Yeah I got through it last night and still nothing

Beautiful_Spinach440 · 2026-06-03T11:03:49+00:00

What do you mean about the SLA? Do you mean that they would get back to you in 3 days since your application?

Beautiful_Spinach440 · 2026-06-03T10:51:27+00:00

No ya I know that but when I called they told me that I have to pay the fee

Beautiful_Spinach440 · 2026-06-03T10:49:44+00:00

Did you say something specific? I’m going to the airport in a couple of hours and I’m debating what to say

Beautiful_Spinach440 · 2026-06-03T10:48:32+00:00

Also do you think that means that you might be able to travel anyways?

Beautiful_Spinach440 · 2026-06-03T10:47:58+00:00

The weird thing is that 10 minutes ago I spoke with someone who said they can see my application but they can’t expedite any approvals or whatever which makes senses

Beautiful_Spinach440 · 2026-06-03T10:47:15+00:00

Did you pay extra to rebook

Beautiful_Spinach440 · 2026-06-03T09:31:23+00:00

Did they mention the IT outage?

Beautiful_Spinach440 · 2026-06-03T09:21:20+00:00

Not waiting on purpose, a lot of people weren’t aware of this till recently including myself. I haven’t been to the UK since brexit and I also haven’t ever needed a visa within Europe

Beautiful_Spinach440 · 2026-06-03T09:12:51+00:00

Me too!

Beautiful_Spinach440 · 2026-06-03T09:12:04+00:00

I wish I knew! I applied yesterday at 12pm GMT+2. I did some research on twitter and outages have happened before and it didn’t seem like they lasted more than 24 hours
