Problems with Travelbag, Please help
9 Answers
Hi there,
My boyfriend got me a trip to New York for christmas leaving on January 12th. He was told at the travel agency that we could both apply for a visa through the visa waiver program online (ESTA). However at this point he was not told that if a passport has ever been reported as lost,found again and reactivated, it would not be eligible for this. As this applies to myself, I had to apply for a visa through the american embassy but because we are leaving next wednesday there won't be enough time for them to issue the visa. I am now wondering where I stand with this as Travelbag want to charge us £200 to push the flights back by two weeks. Can I say that due to the lack of information about the rules regarding ESTA I think they should cover those costs?
Where do I stand with this?
Help please!!!!!!

I was told by the american embassy that it will take will take 7 working days for them to send back the paperwork including my passport. That was after my interview yesterday.
I feel that Travelbag should know about the T&C's of ESTA visas as they were the ones suggesting it and they reassured my boyfriend that there wouldn't be any complications with this process.

ESTA also doesnt apply to anyone with a criminal record for crimes of moral Turpitude, would you have expected them to go into all of that too?
They gave advice on what Visa or waiver would be required, you cant really ask for more than that.
As you say, it wont hurt to try but dont be disappointed when they refuse

Are you saying that you have tried to apply for a visa through
https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/
and have been rejected?
If so, have you tried asking the US Embassy if things could be sped up if you turned up in person to get the visa?
