[quote][i]Originally posted by Kyle T[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by ed[/i] The question on the visa waiver form asks you something like: "have you ever been arrested for a crime of moral turpitude?" - unfortunately you'll have to check 'yes' and they'll send you home straight away. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_turpitude So you'll need to apply for a visa to get in, no idea what the outcome will be - how long until the convictions are spent? [/quote] Yes it's worth noting that for us non-criminal types, we can simply get into the US with a visa waiver (which is the ESTA). You'll actually need a visa as you're a convict and don't qualify for the terms of the ESTA. I've read of stories with much worse criminal records getting a visa though, so I wouldn't cancel your trip just yet - just don't expect to go down the channels most other people go down. Your visa (unlike the ESTA) is more likely to more than 2 years too - so I'd most definitely start the process now. I had to get a visa this year as I was working there for 6 months, it required a phone interview and then another interview in the US embassy and about 500quid I think, but a holiday visa may be different. Expect to be at the embassy from 7am till 5pm. You'll get a letter saying your appointment is at 8am, but you'll get there to find about 1000 people all with an appointment for 8am :lol: [/quote]
