| Dec 28, 2019 at 18:53 | comment | added | phoog | @QuoraFeans of course. The comment to which I was initially replying was general, however, so I was thinking of the per-application cost. | |
| Dec 28, 2019 at 10:06 | comment | added | Quora Feans | @phoog: he applied twice, wouldn't that cost $8? | |
| Dec 27, 2019 at 13:40 | comment | added | phoog | @njzk2 to be clear, there is much to be upset about here. I don't think $4 is very prominent there. The specific degree to which it is reasonable to be upset about that will depend on the applicant's financial means, but an applicant who can afford an airline ticket is unlikely to view $4 as a particularly significant amount of money. What is actually upsetting to me is that the public information materials were not sufficient to bring the Iran limitation to the attention of this applicant until after two unsuccessful applications. But that's more about the ruined trip than the $4. | |

Removed the unnecessary filler/rant content and reduced to the real core of the answer.

| Dec 27, 2019 at 6:29 | comment | added | njzk2 | @phoog how much would you say is the limit for being allowed to be upset? | |
| Dec 27, 2019 at 6:28 | comment | added | njzk2 | @user102008 the law does not exist in a vacuum. it is not there just because it is there. | |
| Dec 26, 2019 at 19:17 | comment | added | Peteris | @HermanToothrot as far as I understand, following your recommendation (intentionally lying on the application that you haven't been to Iran) would be a crime, and while it's possible or even likely that you won't get caught, it's also plausible that you will be caught (USA immigration officials are known to have all kinds of external data sources, data from other countries, reviewing your social media, etc) and in that case the likely expected result would be a near-permanent ban on entering or transiting USA. Theoretically even jail time would be an possible result, though quite unlikely. | |
| Dec 26, 2019 at 14:54 | comment | added | DavidRecallsMonica | @Traveller Yes, the information is right there on the VWP FAQ. My point was that the information was not presented in the ESTA FAQ (esta.cbp.dhs.gov/faq), where an ESTA applicant like the OP would look for it. | |
| Dec 26, 2019 at 10:23 | comment | added | Tim | I'm sorry for you. This Q/A could have hint you about this as it's exactly what the answer states, but I agree that this is nonsense. | |
| Dec 26, 2019 at 9:10 | comment | added | Traveller | @DavidSupportsMonica The ineligibility of applicants who have previously travelled to Iran etc is clearly stated on the official ESTA FAQ web page cbp.gov/travel/international-visitors/visa-waiver-program/…? | |

| Dec 26, 2019 at 8:29 | comment | added | ikegami | @averell, It could tempt many to lie? | |
| Dec 26, 2019 at 4:16 | comment | added | phoog | @averell the cost of a refused ESTA application is $4. It's difficult to get too upset about that. | |
| Dec 25, 2019 at 20:59 | comment | added | averell | I find it somewhat surprising that they let people pay - you are not eligible for ESTA if you answer "yes" to any of the "elegibility questions"... | |

| Dec 25, 2019 at 19:26 | comment | added | user102008 | It has nothing to do with you being "considered a threat". It's simply a condition in US law (since 2016) on who is eligible for the Visa Waiver Program. | |

| Dec 25, 2019 at 17:07 | comment | added | DavidRecallsMonica | Thanks for reporting back. It is indeed wrong that these disqualifying conditions are nowhere mentioned in the online ESTA pages. | |
