ESTA - Puzzled by Application Not Found??

[Lisa1976]

We travel to Orlando on 17th January so I submitted mine and hubby's application last October, both applications were approved and I printed out the details as I didn't have our address details yet.

I've gone back in today to update them and it states application not found on both mine and hubby's, i've checked and rechecked the information i've put but still nothing. Has anyone else had this?

Should I redo them in case they have no record when we get to Sanford?

I think there are going to be massive problems with esta.
I'm glad I'm not travelling in the next few weeks.

I just checked ours yesterday - mine and the dh were recognised and I updated them, but niether of my kids ones were found and then I couldnt do new ones as after entering all the details it got to the last page and the page went down each time.

I think I will just hang on to what we've already got, Im glad I printed out the finished accepted application and hope that will be enough, I quite expect I will still have to fill in the green waiver form though, we shall see. Only 4 days til we find out!!

Dont knowif this helps at all but I registered my wife with ESTA prior to our visit in september 2008.Went to update info for feb 2009 and had lost the application number therefore could not do the update.Panic.
E-mailed the ESTA people and was told to reapply which I have just done and received approval.Panic over I hope.
There is obviously going to be some initial problems but hopefully it will not impact on us UK visitors too much.Hopefully.

It seems the US are taking quite a sensible view on this and won't be turning people away:

No chaos over US travel rules

There is even a suggestion that the 72 hours in advance rule isn't being strictly enforced yet.
