"I went to board my flight today, having had my ESTA approved online. I have not been allowed to board because my ESTA has been withdrawn and nobody in the US Embassy or at Homeland security can give me a reason why. I have to apply to the embassy."

No he was referring to someone else with dual citizenship and gloating that they wouldn't need an ESTA and wouldn't have any issues travelling. He's a total psychopath

Thanks for answering me. I realized I spelled 'dual' wrong as soon as I posted Blush

People like Harrop scare me as they are suffering from some sort of mental/personality disorder which make them unreasonable and downright evil. SJWs have become unhinged where I live as well and are out to ruin the lives of anyone who doesn't agree with them.

Even if he’s joking, his joke is in very poor taste.

That’s just evil

Whenever someone like PeopleLike posts, it's best to do an advanced search.

Let's just say MN isn't the only place they post stuff like their post above.

If someone had made a spurious allegation or report then that sounds like harassment to me

ClosdesMouches · 19/11/2019 18:27

PeopleLike - You're posting misinformation.

An ESTA approval authorisation is not a guarantee that the applicant will be permitted entry to the U.S.
Caroline was not refused an ESTA. Her application was approved. But the ESTA has subsequently been withdrawn.
This has considerable ramifications for any future travel to the USA. Caroline will now have to go through the application process for a visa, which can be lengthy.

The rules for ESTA do allow eligible people to travel to conferences and on certain types of business.
However there are different rules for journalists and other members of the media if they intend to do paid work whilst in the U.S.

This is the official site for ESTA application. (The one linked earlier is NOT the official site even though it calls itself official.) :

Holy shirtballs. Fingers crossed this is his undoing. This is surely severe harassment?
Men wouldn't do anything so egregious as to lie to harass women though, so I guess it couldn't be him.

An ESTA allows you to travel for 90 days for business purposes.

No he was referring to someone else with dual citizenship and gloating that they wouldn't need an ESTA and wouldn't have any issues travelling. He's a total psychopath.

FadingStar · 19/11/2019 18:05

If I were him I would be very concerned at the depths I am willing to sink to, to harm women. I don't want to say evil, but....

PeopleLike · 19/11/2019 18:04

If you are going for a conference then you need to apply saying you are going on business. If you have not and they know now you are attending a conference then they will pull it.

Being refused an ESTA does not impact on future applications.

No one can "bomb scare" your visa, people try all sorts. Its done on your application and the data they have available.

NotTerfNorCis · 19/11/2019 17:57

It's unbelievable the petty spite some TRAs get up to. Can't imagine a feminist doing something like this.

ShesDressedInBlackAgain · 19/11/2019 17:53

Is he identifying as a toddler? My five year old would be embarrassed at that kind of giddy gloating behaviour and he still occasionally wets himself.

HumphreyCobblers · 19/11/2019 17:53

This is truly chilling, that someone would go to such lengths to interfere with your life Caroline. So sorry you are going through this.

Prevegen4U · 19/11/2019 17:48

That man, Harrop, mentioned duel citizenship in the posted tweet, did he mean Caroline has duel US and British citizenship?

Angryresister · 19/11/2019 17:43

However awful her opinions she has a right to travel and should be told the reasons that this has happened and who is responsible.

IWorkAtTheCheescakeFactory · 19/11/2019 17:35

That man has to be bonkers to be so openly brazen?

happydappy2 · 19/11/2019 17:22

Will the FOI request show who is behind this and why?

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 19/11/2019 17:21

And the embassy don’t check out the complainant?

AlunWynsKnee · 19/11/2019 17:20

If someone went to the US Embassy for the purposes of getting someone's Esta spuriosly revoked and in any way used their job as a means of giving them credibility, surely the governing body would be interested.

weebarra · 19/11/2019 17:19

I saw the interesting twitter account last week and was genuinely chilled.
Horrific.

JoyceJeffries · 19/11/2019 17:17

He needs an immediate psychiatric evaluation.

Michelleoftheresistance · 19/11/2019 17:15

Good grief, he's actually unhinged. Well that will be useful evidence for Caro.

macaroniandpizza · 19/11/2019 17:12

Omg is this crackpot of a man still going? Shock
