Question about ESTA and travel

dandy-candy

Just a quick question that I hope someone can help with.

Last September I did a group ESTA application for our family (DH and me, and our 3 kids) and it was approved. We haven't actually got around to booking our family holiday, but since then DD college has said she will have a trip to New York in March and all the students need a visa/ESTA.

I assume she will be covered by the group application I did, but what bit does she need to print out and take to college (and possibly with her on the trip) - is it the group ID number? Also although I filled in the forms individually for each person, the application as a whole is in my name - will that be a problem if she is travelling without us?

i would take a copy of the print out , the 1st time i went to the US when the ESTA kicked in i wasnt even asked for it and everytime since i have never taken a print out as i am on the system so she wouldnt be asked fo it

You don't need to take a print out, their system should have it logged; that said it's no great hassle to print it and take it along just in case.

You don't a print out, it's an electronic visa and should be logged on her passport

I read it as being the college that have asked for a printout just so they can check that all participants in the trip are going to be allowed on the plane?
Imagine arriving at the airport with a coachload of excited teenagers and discovering there's one whose parents haven't read the paperwork properly.....
