If I cancel my B-2 visa appointment can I still use my ESTA?
I am an Australian citizen. Originally I intended to stay in Canada for a working holiday. I am supposed to apply for B-1/B-2 including transiting. However, my plan has changed. I don't need a B-1/B-2 visa anymore. I submitted DS-160 form, paid the fee.
Now may I just simply cancel my visa interview next week?
I applied ESTA and got approved until mid 2018. One of the ESTA questions says:
Have you ever been denied a U.S. visa or entry into the U.S. or had a U.S. visa canceled?
As long as my visa has never been denied or cancelled (I never even applied for a single visa), I should say "no"...right?
Can I still enter the US in the future with my current valid approved ESTA?

An ESTA does not guarantee entry. As a foreign national for you the decision is up to CBP. The ESTA you have though will continue to serve its purpose until mid 2018, provided not cancelled before then (such as may be the result of visiting Yemen).

You may only schedule a new visa interview appointment if you missed your previously scheduled immigrant visa interview appointment. If you schedule a visa interview appointment before the date of your initial immigrant visa interview appointment or meet any of the conditions below, you will not be interviewed.Can I apply for a B2 visa if I have an ESTA?
Even if you have a valid ESTA, if you apply for a visa and the application is denied, this is a changed circumstance that requires you to reapply for ESTA and the new ESTA application will likely be denied now that you have a B visa denial on record.My esta got denied and nobody knows why
