Applying for an ESTA but then not using it: problem?
Is there any risk in / disadvantage to applying for an ESTA, but then not travelling with it after all? Would not using it be considered "suspicious" or cause any problems later? My travel plans are not quite certain yet, and I would like to get the ESTA out of the way before proceeding with detailed planning. One of the reasons is that in case the ESTA would not be granted, I am not willing to go through the visa application process at this time.
