travelling to united states with a criminal record?

[adamfitch]

I've booked to go to New York next month, i've have already signed a visa waiver form. However have since realised that you may not be allowed in with a criminal record. The person I am travelling with has one for dating from about 10 years ago, is this something to worry about?
