ESTA - Travel Not Authorised

[Petleyj]

Hi,

My flight was today but about 1 week ago, I updated my address of where I was staying on the ESTA website and went to check and print it last night and it's showing Travel Not Authorised

My girlfriend and friends are completely shocked. I have now applied for a B2 visa at the London US Embassy and my appointment is this week.

Has anyone had this happen before? Any advice going forward would be much appreciated.

I am a UK citizen from birth.

Did you travel somewhere (like the middle east) in the last few years? recent travels abroad can trigger this

If the result of your ESTA application is “travel not authorized” “Travel not authorized” means that you have been refused authorization to travel to the U.S. for some reason. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which oversees ESTA, will not inform travelers as to why their travel was not authorized.
