ABOUT ESTA - ELECTRONIC SYSTEM FOR TRAVEL AUTHORIZATION

Some tour operators still use the green immigration form I-94W must be completed before you arrive in the United States. But you must now also ensure that you have an approved travel authorization (ESTA) before you get checked-in. The data on the two forms should match - if not you will most likely have to explain deviations of the immigration authorities upon arrival.
As mentioned, we recommend you strongly to complete your ESTA application, so you have complete control over the information given. Applications filled out electronically and can be submitted as soon as you know you're going to the USA. You will normally reply to your ESTA application within 72 hours, and you can then update the information with final travel details if you wish.
