Help needed with traveler information to fly home

[emyardy 11]

Hi all,

I am going home using the AP combo card whilst waiting for AOS to be approved. I tried checking in online, as my flight leaves tomorrow, and I am stuck on a question. It asks to list country of residence, so I put USA. Then, it asks which country issued my passport. That answer is United Kingdom. Choosing UK makes another question pop up that asks for U.S. Resident Card Number-Permanent resident, Resident Alien or none.. Clicking none makes it so that I have to enter the address at which I am 'visiting in the U.S.'. Has anyone else faced this? What have you done?

Also, do you skip filling out the ESTA?

Thank you!

You might have to check in at the airport. The system might not be able to cope with your situation.

You do not need ESTA.

What happens if you choose resident alien?

I agree that you'll be able to do it at the airport without issue.

I had something similar happen to me, even at the airport, even with a GC. I was using one of those self-check in booths. The system just isn't designed for people in non-standard situations. I was able to be checked in by a human, no problems.

Sarah, the resident alien requires a 'Resident Alien Card Number'. We'll just check in at the service desk and hope no problems arise!! Thanks so much!!
