US visa waiver form needs to be completed on-board the flight to the 1st ort of entry into the US. ESTA form needs to be completed at least 3 days prior to departure, and should be completed via the US Embassy website. DON'T PAY FOR IT, there are agencies that charge a fee for this, they're a scam apparently, below is a copy of an e-mail that I recieved recently:
Important Notice to ESTA Applicants:
Have you paid for ESTA? If so, you have been victimized by a fraudulent ESTA. Please review the DHS warning:
http://www.cbp.gov/linkhandler/cgov/...a_advisory.pdf. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) does not work with any private websites to help file ESTA applications. ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) is a FREE application and it is available only at the official .GOV website:
https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov
The following actions are required:
1. Dispute the charge with your bank or credit card company
2. Apply yourself at the official ESTA website
REFUND: You are entitled to a full refund by contacting your bank or credit card company. You should explain to your credit card company that you are a victim of fraud, as you have paid an impostor government website. If you have paid a fee to submit your ESTA application you are a victim of fraud and possible identity theft, as the individuals who operate the fraudulent ESTA website have your passport information, full name, date of birth, address and full credit card information. There is no way of knowing what they will do with this information.
To learn more about this scam, search online for "ESTA Fraud" or "ESTA Scam”. You will find several articles exposing this scam. The BBC made a report recently about fraudulent ESTA websites operating out of Korea and defrauding applicants from all over the world. You can watch the video at:
