Travelling to US for Brooklyn Shows? ESTA Visa delays

[mafee]

Hi all

Just a heads up that there's been issues with the ESTA applications for the last week - seems like they've got the system back up so you can submit an application but they are not doing real time approvals so best to get it sooner rather than later if you don't have it et:

REMINDER: Apply for ESTA no later than 72 hours before departing for the United States. Real-time approvals will no longer be available and arriving at the airport without a previously approved ESTA will likely result in being denied boarding.

Thanks for the heads up! I've been thinking about it for the past couple of weeks, but never got around to do it. Will definitely do it tonight.

No bother.
For what it's worth once I got to put my application in it got approved in about 15 mins.
Over the weekend it wasn't accepting applications at all.
