esta query

Hi
Can anyone please help?


Last year I went on holiday for the first time to the USA and applied for a esta. on this esta I put my address whilst in the USA as the hotel I was staying in and also the same hotel as my US point of contact information.


I am going to the USA again in a few weeks to a different state. I have updated my esta to show the new hotel and state as my address whilst in the usa but am unable to change the US point of contact. This is still showing as the hotel I stayed in last year.


I have tried to email about this but the reply will take 2-3 weeks. I am going roughly then.


Will this information cause me problems? do you think I should apply for a new esta?


any advice of any experienced esta users is very much appreciated. This is my first post so I hope I have explaine dthis well thank you

    It doesn't matter. I travel several times a year and the address is whatever I put on the esta when I applied. No one has queried it and I fly into a different city each time.

    I think I gave my US assistant as my contact point last time, but can't be sure. And the assistant may have changed since then...
  • When we checked in at the airport, back in August, you had to say where you were staying - even though we originally had the esta for a trip earlier in the year to a different state.

    I can't remember if you had to say where you were staying once again when you got to the US but we had no problems on our second visit.
