Passport nightmare

[jamez2014]

so I'm going end of October and went to sort out our ESTAs this evening and realised my passport has done a runner

So I'm hoping to book a appointment at the London passport office for the 1week turnaround, so do we think I will be ok? Or am I panicking over nothing, my concern is now getting ESTAs approved in time, has anyone been through this as well? Thanks in advance

I did the one week turn around and had passport back in three days. Old
Passport first followed by the new passport.

Maybe wait a couple of weeks first and see if it shows up .

Hi

You're panicking over nothing plenty of time, in Liverpool (not much help I know) do it in a day just get an appointment in the morning go back in the afternoon to pick it up.

That said the time I did it for my DW they declared her as a British Subject and apposed to a British Citizen, ESTA doesn't allow that and I hadn't noticed when I applied, long story short but nearly not allowed to go on the day..only the intervention of a nice US immigration guy at Manchester Airport allowed us.

So check

Regards

Paul

Don't panic - you have got plenty of time.

ESTAs are usually approved within minutes.

Thanks for the msgs well crisis averted as we turned the house upside down and it was in the back of cupboard in one of the wife's bags she never uses.

But most importantly it's reappeared

Glad you found it ok! Been there (with lost passport myself so know how panicked she would have been).

Thankfully for me I wasn't travelling - DH was heading on a business trip and needed his so had plenty of time to renew.
