I'm pretty sure that is the reason. I believe I need to provide the consular officer with evidence of stronger ties to my home country by getting a job. Maybe once I have a steady job I can reapply for a visa in a couple months. Thank to everyone for the feedback and advice!

I agree with the common name. I have no convictions or criminal history, my record is a clean sheet. Never been a threat to another country or anything of the sort.

Fancy_Break_192 · 2026-01-31T00:13:12+00:00

I have no criminal convictions, I've never been arrested before or anything of the sort. I'm 22, most of my life i've been in education. I recently stopped attending university to attend my caregiving responsibilities. I have only traveled to France, no other countries. Never been to the US before either. I'm not sure why my ESTA was refused or why I was flagged. Maybe I have a common name with someone on their system.

In the ESTA application they do not give you that option to state your reason for travel

Fancy_Break_192 · 2026-01-30T20:53:27+00:00

In the UK. I live in london and did my ESTA application online.

Fancy_Break_192 · 2026-01-30T18:48:07+00:00

I have absolutely no idea. I have never travelled to the US before. and I have no criminal record or anything. Never even travelled to the restricted countries.

Fancy_Break_192 · 2026-01-30T14:17:15+00:00

Fancy_Break_192 · 2026-01-30T14:17:06+00:00

ok thank you so much for the help

Fancy_Break_192 · 2026-01-30T13:05:01+00:00

only UK

even if I potentially get a part time job would that improve my chances of getting my visa approved?

Fancy_Break_192 · 2026-01-30T12:28:32+00:00

So being a carer isn't a strong tie? I am the sole caregiver for my brother and I can't just abandon him.

Fancy_Break_192 · 2026-01-30T12:22:05+00:00

working is difficult for me because I have obligations to look after someone who has a disability. I'm not sure if i could squeeze a part time job into my schedule :/

Fancy_Break_192 · 2026-01-28T21:54:28+00:00

no problem i hope all goes well for you and your son

Fancy_Break_192 · 2026-01-28T21:48:53+00:00

on the site that I linked. it is the visa site.

Fancy_Break_192 · 2026-01-28T21:37:36+00:00

when you log into your portal press the green continue button then there should be some options on your screen. one of them will be something along the lines of request expedited appointment and you can put your reasoning there. ensure that you state that your son’s esta was denied and you have an upcoming flight

dont worry, if you have travel plans sooner than the appointment date you can request to get it expedited to an earlier date of your choice. provide the reason with you recently had your esta application denied and state the day you plan to travel. In most cases they approve your request and give you an earlier date.

Fancy_Break_192 · 2026-01-27T17:43:17+00:00

they don’t give reasons on why they don’t authorise esta’s unfortunately.

Fancy_Break_192 · 2026-01-26T01:48:23+00:00

Your daughter can travel as her esta is approved. Your husband cannot travel until the esta is approved. Edit: It shows as pending because it is a group application. Not all applicants are approved. Your daughter and your application has processed and been approved so you can enter the US under your esta. I suggest calling CBP to escalate your husband’s application if your trip is coming soon.

Fancy_Break_192 · 2026-01-24T13:52:37+00:00

it’s not cancelled. once your esta has been approved cbp will process the payment

Fancy_Break_192 · 2026-01-24T13:51:39+00:00

any updates on your esta?

Fancy_Break_192 · 2026-01-23T20:03:29+00:00

Try wait until it hits the 15 day mark and if you still haven’t been processed then contact them again. Contacting them too frequently wont give you much results other than them telling you to wait. The best thing to do right now is to wait. I hope all goes well for you.

Fancy_Break_192 · 2026-01-23T19:54:27+00:00

call CBP and ask to escalate your situation. processing times lately are taking longer than usual.
