ESTA was approved but now I’m not able to use it to travel

I’m not sure if this is the right place to post but I hope I can get some guidance.

My in laws applied for an ESTA a couple of days ago (they’re British but traveling from Vancouver), and they both got confirmations saying they were approved.

Today she showed up to the airport and the agent told my mother in law that her ESTA has not been approved, and right now she’s crying at the Vancouver airport not knowing what to do.

She tried to login but it keeps telling her « the payment status could not be determined » and won’t let her do anything else, not even try a different payment. It just says to try logging in at a later time.

Has anyone experienced this? Is there anything else we can do? My husband is trying to call ESTA right now, but we’re hoping we can get her to travel today.

Thank you in advance!

To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our

Ok so I’m not sure what to put down here, I have a high school diploma and currently attending college! So for the occupation part for a previous question I put down the school I go to and address, however I am uncertain what to put down here, I put my high school start and end date but do I also include the college? Because it says highest level of education COMPLETED but also in the drop down menu there is an option that says UNIVERSITY,NO DEGREE which if I do choose then I will have to fill out the school information and then a start date and an end date which I still do not know this is the only question I’m struggling will and have looked into it but no straightforward answer!
