ESTA point of contact

nisob

Hi all,

I am aware this question has been asked before on other forums. Please can someone help in my specific situation. I am uk citizen travelling to Detroit for business, this is to visit my present company's US office. I am wondering how to give point of contact info to ESTA. I know there is no wrong or right but i just want to write the most applicable answer to avoid inconvenience. I have 3 options, pls help me choose A or B or C? ** i very much want to avoid option B because my US colleagues are very new to the business, they are not local to detroit and i dont want to ask their personal information.

A:
Name: Company's name
Address: company address in detroit
Phone: company's phone in detroit

B:
Name: A Colleague's name, located in the US
Address: colleague's personal address (could be outside detroit)
Phone: their phone number

C:
Name: Colleague's name, located in the US
Address: company address in detroit

Phone: company's phone in detroit

Thanks for your help!

Best wishes

There is presumably also D which is the detail of the hotel you are going to be staying at. 

Given that an ESTA lasts 2 years and who knows if you will still be working for this company or not the next time you go over I'd be more minded to put something not work related. Hotels will frequently be listed for travellers and will be more versed in dealing with any potential query

Putting a work address might actually cause issues as you may be quizzed on why you didnt apply for a working visa.

Just put the hotel address and think nothing of it.

I think it's optional anyway, as stated it's valid for 2 years and you probably won't go to the same place next time. Just put they hotel you are staying at.
