Leaving aside the question of actual travel, is being on the SOR a logical hindrance to ESTA application process?

What about being on the SOR while somewhere abroad? I.e. when notices may be up.

FYI I recently applied successfully for ETA for Canada.

Hey, I've decided to chance it and go via Ireland pre-clearence. I have nothing to lose.

I'll be off the register. And there was simply no infliction of harm, I mean we can debate wrongness, but harm is something else.

I also have a clean CRB check in among my travel paperwork stash, going back to 2022.


Let us know how it goes 

Well in 48 hours this forum will have its first recorded attempt to enter the USA having been on the SOR (days earlier).

Hopefully it's a good sign if you don't hear from me for a while as am going from Dublin.


I have been fully de-loused and onboarded and am on the USA side of the Dublin pre-clearence.

Once thing I noticed was, the automated gate into Dublin that scans the passport then takes the photo -- that began working for me again, whereas previously it always rejected and I always had to have recourse to the manned booth. 

Then I Midnight Expressed my way through the simple pre-clearence. Perfectly pleasant guards.
And I did it all without telling any literal lies Whistling

This is 48 hours after coming off register.
