Can I use APC machines in the US with passport of new nationality?
I am a dual Italian/Swiss citizen who naturalized as British in 2020. I now have three nationalities. I have been to the US several times after 2008, using the Swiss or Italian passport (choice depended on passport validity each time), but not since 2015. I'm soon going to the US on holiday, and will be using my British passport as I'll be flying out of and back to the UK. Will I be considered a returning ESTA passenger and able to use the Automatic Border Control machines with my new British passport?
Edit: the airport of arrival in the US would be JFK T8.
