How long is my data stored?

There are three responses that you can get once you retrieve your ESTA application, as listed below: Authorisation Pending: This means that your application has been received, but it has not been decided whether to authorize or reject it yet.

The short answer to this question is no, you cannot fast track an ESTA application. However, by ensuring that your ESTA application is completed with all of the correct information, there is a much better chance that it will get processed quickly and approved.

You can check the status of your ESTA application at any time. Visit the governmental website, click on the Check Existing Application option, which will take you down to the Returning Applicants Check ESTA Status section.
