On NYE 2000 -2001 i was arrested for entering a nightlcub with an ecstacy
pill. do you think this will effect me getting a visa in the next 5 years as im thinking about immagrating to us. after 10 years will this be wipped of my crimnal record? "Stef" wrote in message ... Many thanks to all who responded to the original post. Just to clarify matters, I've spoken to the embassy and if you've ever been arrested by the police, for anything, no matter what the outcome of the case, you cannot travel under the Visa Waiver scheme and have to apply for a Visa. They reckon that from 26 October, all passengers will be fingerprinted and checked against police records (however I am not sure WHICH police records, US or UK) So I am not going to chance being turned away so I've made an appointment for a visa appointment. However to add insult to injury, the number you dial to make an appointment is a premium rate number at £1.50 a minute and by the time I'd listened to the recorded message and actually got through to make the appointment it must have been a minimum of 10 minutes. Then I have to take a day off work to go down to London (only other place is Belfast and it MUST be a personal interview), pay for travel from Manchester to London then pay £72 for the Visa.Which is getting on towards what the flights to NY actually cost! I can understand this palaver if I had been actually convicted of anything but I'm totally innocent and so am really miffed about it. |
