i just got my NOA2 approved last week. im thinkking its going to be a minimum 8 more weeks before i have my interview and can move a few days after...

i want to make a short 2 week trip in about 3 weeks time. (im the beneficiary, going to Houston)

should i be ok on my ESTA ? its just a bit of a weird situation because i now have my A number (printed on NOA2)

am i likely to have problems? or will i just be asked a few questions and aslong as i answer truthfully i should be ok ? Everything here is legit, obviously i am going to return to UK so i can have my interview, then pack the bags again and fly out on a one way.

Thanks in advance for all your thoughts

You SHOULD be fine, but we can never know what kind of day the person you will be dealing with at CBP will be having. You might want to take along a bit of extra proof of your ties to the UK as to CYA. (So the A# was on your NOA2. HMMM Would you mind telling me if it is written on your Visa when you get it? I was hit on the nose for mentioning that the A# was only on our NOA2 when it was written on someone's visa in the UK subforum. Thanks)

I wish you good travels and smooth sailing,

Dave

You'll be fine - bring as much proof of ties as possible! Noa1, noa2, letter off employer, letter off landlord if you are renting, anything you can think of that helps your case that you will return. Have you planned a wedding yet?

The A# shouldn't change anything. It's all down to if they believe you will leave. My fiancé/ husband visited Houston with an A# assigned and returned in time for his interview in London.

You "should" be fine. Bring lots of proof of ties to.home, possibly include your interview letter with date.

Don't get over confident though when people tell you "you will be fine".
