Getting into The US with ESTA and Definitions of Moral Turpitude

Traditionally travellers to the USA would have to go through clearance at their own airports (especially when flying with an airline like American Airlines) and then have to go through clearance when in the USA - usually twice if it they have to get a connecting flight. With ESTA Authorization, USA Travel Registration can now be done from the comfort of your own home. If ESTA do not deem you suitable to visit the US, you will be notified (this if often if you have committed acts of "Moral Turpitude").

If you have committed an act of Moral Turpitude as defined by ESTA, then you will be given notice via email. The benefits of this for the traveller are being able to know before they purchase tickets whether they are able to enter the USA or not, saving the purchase fares and the extreme inconvenience of being sent home on a plane and often having to pay for it yourself after you have arrived in the US.

You will still be asked the normal questions at customs in the US about your trip (for example where are you staying, how long are you planning on being in the USA for) and the USA travel registration does not guarantee you entry into the country, however it should make your whole trip easier and safer for everybody!
