I booked up o go to New York on November 13th. I have however found out you need a visa if you have ever been arrested. The person i'm going with was arrested about 10 years ago for a minor offence. Now thatw e have booked and there isnt really time to get a visa, should we be worried about getting into the us?
I would go with SeaJayPea's advice. Just answer no on the waiver form. In any case, you won't need a visa if they've only been arrested, as long as you were not convicted of any offense.
