| Mar 11, 2015 at 17:44 | comment | added | Relaxed | @phoog OK, I tried to clarify this as well (third paragraph from the bottom). | |
| Mar 11, 2015 at 16:57 | comment | added | phoog | @user27557 I doubt very highly that they reconcile these lists, but anyway you can avoid that possibility by checking in for the US-bound leg with your US passport. Even if you checked in with the UK passport, and even if the CBP officer has something identifying you as a UK citizen, you still have no ESTA requirement, and in fact you have a requirement not to use ESTA, because you are a US citizen. The US allows dual nationality, and at any point in time you can assert your rights as a US citizen by showing your US passport, regardless of what else you may have done using your UK passport. | |
| Mar 11, 2015 at 16:55 | comment | added | phoog | I mean when I leave the EU, I show the US passport to the airline on checkin, and the EU passport to the border officer. I show the US passport to US border control. | |
| Mar 11, 2015 at 16:54 | comment | added | Relaxed | @phoog You mean on exit from the EU? Or upon arriving in the US? | |

| Mar 11, 2015 at 16:49 | comment | added | phoog | You might want to point out that using the US passport to board the plane does not mean that you have to show the US passport to the border control official. I do this routinely when I travel from the EU to the US -- I check in with my US passport and I show my EU passport to the border officer. | |
| Mar 11, 2015 at 16:45 | comment | added | phoog | @GayotFow I routinely leave the US on my non-US passport, and never have a problem. My wife routinely leaves the US without turning in her I-94 without any problem (though she is on a G visa and has no limit to her duration of stay). As I understand it, if one fails to turn in the I-94, the most trouble you'll have is that when you reenter the US you will have to prove when you left to show that you didn't overstay. That obviously doesn't apply to US citizens. | |

| Mar 11, 2015 at 15:11 | comment | added | Relaxed | @user27557 I am not sure. I would be more concerned about being denied boarding in the first place (that's what I try to explain in the second paragraph). I vaguely remember reading something about that on the State Department's website but could not find it again. | |
| Mar 11, 2015 at 15:01 | comment | added | user27557 | I assume that the border authority would reconcile the list provided by the airline in advance to whoever is entering the US therefore I could not book the flight on the EU passport then enter the US on a US passport, sidestepping the ESTA requirement? | |

| Mar 11, 2015 at 14:44 | comment | added | Relaxed | @GayotFow Clarified. | |
