If your payment has timed out, the ESTA application status page will display a "Payment status can not be determined at this time" error. If this occurs, you should wait 4 hours, retrieve you application, and attempt to pay again." | |

But pressing the "Pay" button brought me back to the same pay.gov page saying "The Pay.gov web site is currently unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please check back with us later." And when I returned to my ESTA application status, suddenly there was no longer any option to press "Pay". | |
