You need a visa in your passport. It's not a stamp, it's a sticker the size of a page with your photo on it.

Why were you refused the esta? Medicals are not usually done for tourist visas....

They may be waiting for the medical results to be sent to the embassy, and then call you either for a second interview, or to send in your passport.

Only can think of one reason they refused my esta as I ticked yes to mental health problem

Ah, that also explains the medical.

They will probably contact you to send your passport/return to the embassy to affix the visa in it when they approve it.

They probably just triggered the ESTA. You should try to apply for it again.

Retried getting esta again and this time it was authorised but hubby worried that I might now get into US now and be sent back again
