| Dec 16, 2018 at 17:12 | comment | added | phoog | @DavidSchwartz we already have a Q&A on that. See the last link in my answer. | |
| Dec 16, 2018 at 17:12 | comment | added | Willeke♦ | @phoog, indeed but it will make a difference on whether he should or should not have gotten an ESTA. | |
| Dec 16, 2018 at 17:11 | comment | added | phoog | @Willeke it shouldn't matter with regard to the allowed duration of stay. | |
| Dec 16, 2018 at 17:09 | comment | added | phoog | @PatriciaShanahan there are a few other reports here of US citizens being granted ESTA authorization after disclosing US citizenship on the application. | |

| Dec 16, 2018 at 13:17 | comment | added | gnasher729 | @KutuluMike If you show your British passport and don't tell anyone about your US passport, you will get a Visa without problems, even though you are not supposed to get one. | |
| Dec 16, 2018 at 13:09 | comment | added | Patricia Shanahan | Were you already a US citizen when you applied for the ESTA? If so, how did you answer the questions about citizenship? | |
| Dec 16, 2018 at 12:51 | comment | added | Willeke♦ | Were you an US citizen when you entered or did you get citizenship while already in? | |

| Dec 16, 2018 at 9:38 | comment | added | David Schwartz | The more important question is what are the consequences for violating the requirements of 8 USC 1185 which says, "it shall be unlawful for any citizen of the United States to depart from or enter, or attempt to depart from or enter, the United States unless he bears a valid United States passport.” See here for more information. (Short answer: There is no penalty for violating this requirement.) | |
| Dec 16, 2018 at 7:50 | comment | added | Augustine of Hippo | It doesn’t matter whether you entered illegally or on ESTA or a visa. So far as you’re a citizen the class/manner of entry does not change the fact you can stay indefinitely by law. | |
