Increased ESTA Checks Ahead

[1nfrequent]

This is of interest to those of you with dual passports or who use aliases (e.g. you use a different name to your birth name) - if so, you can look forward to more questions at US immigration as the Department of Homeland Security tries to tighten up against terrorists again.

It has already changed. Even if you don't have two nationalities or use an alias, there are more questions to answer and everything is mandatory. They no longer ask what flights you are taking (this used to be optional) and you cannot edit what you inserted if you have a valid ESTA from before the change. The only field you seem to be able to update is the address where you are staying. It's still fairly straightforward, but it does take longer to complete.
