We are off to the States in Sept and my hubby has just filled out some forms on line, for immigration, we already have an American visa as we lived there for 3 years and it hasn't run out yet.I'm not sure what forms they are, so when he gets home i will get a link to the website for you...Dory

We applied for all of ours online and just printed them out and took them with us. The forms were straightforward to complete but make sure you go to the right (free) website as you can be conned. You will still though have to complete the old forms on the flight ready to hand in at the other end. A tip : pick up spares at the airport as when we flew Virgin had none on board and anyone who'd made a mistake (us!!) had to redo them at the other end. The only upside to this was that no-one at immigration took very much notice of ours and whizzed us through without checking anything! And we even had a smile from them

http://esta.cbp.dhs.govThis is the official site to go through - other websites charge a lot!

thanks, when I googled this, it did lead to a uk based site charging £20 each!so thank you once againl

Hubby is on the website now filling out the forms.The link is:https:\esta.cbp.dhs.gov\esta\this takes you to a screen with Welcome To ESTA - the offical U.S Government Web Sitewritten in dark blue. The green forms take you to forms you need to fill out.On the help link on that page there is a link to is there a fee for a travel authorisation?the answer is currently there is no fee..So the site you found most be one that charges.I would try the link above...Dory
