    You've applied, but have you paid?

    If you don't pay for the B1/B2 application, it goes away. If you've paid, you're committed and have to hope for the best.

    Just be aware that a visa denial can cause ESTA to be denied for around 12 months, so if you're committed, put as much effort into the application as you can. Make sure you submit documents and don't rely on the Consular Officer looking at anything you bring on the day.

    Unfortunately they have already filled in ESTA.

    Only ways to get round this is to apply for a B2 (whether or not a medical would be required for the DUI is unknown) or email CBP and let them decide if the crimes need declaring or try and change ESTA and argue the fact out in secondary (NOT recommended).
