usa visa

[brizaldo]

Hi, ive been reading your latest Q & A REF VISA,S TO THE usa. I have done a search on criminal records for my self as i had a bad time when i was younger. The searches keep coming baclk as no records found. I am planning to go the the USA TO STAY WITH FRIENDS DOyou think i should just answer no as you have pointed out to other questions on the waiver form. Worried

[dzug]

What exactly is your worry? What were your crimes? How old were you when you committed them?

You are probably safe to answer no - depending on the answers to the above you might not even be lying when you do.

One was for speeding, and another was for taking a coal lorry away and giving the coal to the pensioners ( i was drunk at the time). This was while i was a member of the armed forces

lol- did they make the pensioners give the coal back ?
that was a great gesture anyway even if you were under the influence.
Just answer no on the waiver form, they are looking for drug dealers etc not you.

[brizaldo]

No the pensioners were allowed to keep the coal , as the police didnt have a clue who i distributed it to. Anyway thanks for the advice
