Hi all, just a quick question. I need to arrange an interview at the us embassy in London to get a visa for me for a family holiday to florida next year. Do I need to take any information about my family with me to the interview, I have all the other stuff that I need but I was just reading somewhere and it said I have to take stuff about the family that's coming with me? I thought it's just stuff about me I need to take?
237SJ & Bazile take a look at Beunichico's answer ( best answer) on the link I posted at 08.16 I think that about sums up the chances of ireallywannago's chances of getting a visa. No point in raising false hopes, Beunichico has researched this subject in detail as it often comes up on AB
Eddie - you can`t tell from Google what is going to happen. I was looking at a similar question a while ago on here and someone (I know the name but don`t want to name them here) had experience of friends who had managed to get visas into the US with convictions. There are thousands of passengers who cross the Atlantic every day from the UK (let alone Europe). There is no way that all of those people have never, ever been in trouble with the law.
237SJ the problem here is that the questioner has admitted having a conviction. If she had kept her mouth shut and said she has never had a conviction it is exceedingly unlikely that she would have been found out ,US immigration has no access to UK criminal records. 100s people get away with it every week by just keeping quiet and lying.
Eddie - as the OP has said, the consular official on the day of the interview will decide if a visa is granted. They will take everything into consideration and make a decision.

The consular official has by law to refuse the application and tell the applicant that the only way out is to appeal to Washington, the US embassy in London CAN NOT by their own law approve a visa application , they can ONLY refuse it and tell the applicant to appeal to Washington.
