Esta Question

camz09

I may be just too dumb but I'm trying to help the mother fill up her ESTA form application for travel to the US in two weeks and some questions gave me pause. She is a naturalised Irish citizen since 2012, born in Country X, which is a non-Visa Waiver Program country. She is NOT a dual citizen. Thought the form would be straightforward enough after I fill in her details and passport information. Then it asks:

(1) "Have you ever been issued a passport or national identity card for travel by any other country?" Answered YES, and gave the issuing country (Country X) and the document type, which was a Passport... it's void now obviously but you don't need to provide the passport number or anything.

It then goes to the section about OTHER CITIZENSHIP/NATIONALITY. It asked:

(1)"Are you now, a citizen or national of any other country?" This confuses me. I should write NO, since she is not a citizen of any country other than Ireland NOW.

Or should I say YES, and click Ireland...and answer Naturalisation for the question, "How did you acquire..."???

(2)"Have you ever been a citizen or national of any other country?" OK, I should write YES, and click on Country X, right?

Hoping someone can help. And I may turn out to be a dumb dumb for asking a question for a simple enough form but I'll take it if someone can help me figure this out. Thank you!

The question is whether you're (your mother) is a citizen of any country other than Ireland, so the answer is "no". You're correct on the second question.
