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?

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.

Don't know about it affecting your visa application but as far as the US are
concerned, it won't be wiped off your criminal record

If he goes into nightclubs in this country he's obviously a masochist.
USofA is just the sort of ******** country that would appeal to him.
He probably can't wait to get roughed up and anally probed by those
immigration officers. Then there are all those paranoid cops with sink
plungers.
