I am going to travel to USA in December and as Italian citizen I qualify for the Visa-Waiver program (I also meet the other requirements). The thing is that I am also an Argentinian citizen, but my Argentinian passport expired more than 10 years ago. Note that Argentina does not belong to the list of countries in the Visa-Waiver program. I have a couple of questions:



  1. When applying for the Visa Waiver program, what should I answer when I am asked if I have a second passport? I do have a second nationality, but, precisely speaking, I do not have a second passport, since the one I had expired more than 10 years ago.

  2. Could it happen that US officials don't let me into the country because I do not have a valid passport of my second nationality, i.e. a valid Argentinian passport?

To enter the US under the VWP, you will need an ESTA.



The ESTA form explicitly asks:




Have you ever been issued a passport or national identity card for travel by any other country?




(emphasis mine)



So, yes, you should indicate that you have had an Argentinian passport, even though it expired.



If you still have the passport, you can fill in all the relevant fields. If you don't have it, as explained in the relevant help section (accessible by hovering on the circled question mark):



enter image description here




If you have been issued one of these documents from another country, but you do not remember the passport number of national identification card number and the year of expiration, answer "UNKNOWN" in the passport number field and four zeros "0000" in the year of expiration field.




And no, there's no reason they would not allow you in because your other passport has expired or you no longer have it.

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
