Hi all, wondering if anyone can please advise.

I last travelled to the USA before lockdown, but the ESTA for that has expired.

I now have a new ESTA on the same passport. They've done fingerprints and photos before.

I'm flying into O'Hare in October. There are apparently border control kiosks there, that can be used by certain categories of traveller. Visa Waiver ESTA holders are one.

What I want to know, if someone can advise please, is whether I need to queue up, or whether I can use the kiosk, and if I can use the kiosk, what the process is?

Obvs, my main concern is getting through CBP and out to Chicago as quickly as possible.
