Anyone know about criminal records and getting into america?

Im sure you can get prior confirmation from somewhere in the UK - you go for a meeting etc... if you're fearful of being knocked back.

 

You should of really sorted this out a long time ago, I would not be suprised if hes not allowed in. I am going to the states in febuary and have already sorted this stuff out and i have no criminal convictions, 6 points though, maybe im ****ed!

Your mate sounds like a nutter!

 

Just don't tell them. You're in bother if you get up to something while you;re over there and they find out, but ticking all the "no" boxes on the immigration card should do it.

 

yeh its drug dealers and terrorists they want to know about, if hes aisan your probs ****ed! He hasnt commited genoscide recently right?

 

a mate tried to get in last year but got knocked back as he's thrown a drain pipe through a bird's window and the polis caught him. After a few weeks hassle with the american embassy etc. he was allowed in

 

I think its the US embassy you can contact prior to travelling to get authorisation.

 

i agree with the above comments - youll be ok if you tick those boxes

 

no they dont

 

but does it just have US records, or UK ones too... I dont see how the UK can provide all those details without some form of.. errrm... hoo-ha

 

If you are a british passport holder, youneed: A machine readable passport 9look for lots of chevrons at teh bottom of the photo page) and 6 months validity on your passport after your return date.

They will scan your index finger and retina upon entry. This will only flag up there and then if you've committed an offence on US soil. You are committing an offence by lying on teh entry card but that's the rist that you've got to take if you want to get in with a record.
