| Dec 22, 2022 at 23:42 | comment | added | xngtng | @newbie1001 ESTA, as the name implies, is an electronic document stored in CBP database. No one shows ESTA to immigration officers since CBP already has it... The offence of making false statement was committed the moment you submit the application form with knowingly incorrect information. | |
| Dec 22, 2022 at 23:41 | comment | added | Tim | @newbie1001 do what you want, but you’ve got an answer: lying on an ESTA is still a crime, probably with no consequences. Going to a US Embassy seems like a very obvious first step. | |
| Dec 22, 2022 at 23:31 | comment | added | newbie1001 | *your Why would their be consequences of arriving in the US and trying to enter without using my ESTA. The ESTA gets me on the plane but at the border I'd be entering as a US citizen, I'd not show my ESTA with the lie. | |

| Dec 22, 2022 at 19:41 | comment | added | newbie1001 | I’m asking what the consequences are . Given that I don’t have my naturalization documents and am asking for a first passport, I’m not the first to be in this situation but I’m not a typical case | |
