Re: I have a cimt want to emigrate to USA
Hi
Apply to ACPO for a police records check, this will show if the crime is on the systems, A friend got into trouble at 19 for theft and GBH, he has received his ACPO certificate and it shows nothing on it. For the sake of £30 and 10 day wait it will answer your questions before you go down the Lawyer route.

Calm down. You won't be applying for a K-3 visa in 5 weeks. If you manage to get to the USA in 6 weeks and marry your girlfriend (as you stated in your first post), you will still have a long way to go until you apply for your visa. The whole process for you to get your visa (by the way, Immigrant Visa is better than K-3, but that's another topic) takes about 8 to 10 months. So you DO have time to get your problem taken care of.
I do not know how your crime will impact your upcoming trip to the USA, however, and perhaps you DO need to find that out, before traveling to the USA again in 6 weeks. This is a different issue than your visa one, though.
Have a consultation with an immigration attorney, tell him all your facts, and get a legal opinion on whether you should even be going to the USA on a VWP again right now. That is your first step and your first concern.

But you're applying for a K3 in 5 weeks?

Re: emigrating on k3 with conviction
been told my visa waiver should be ok because the cimt was at a magistrates court where the maximum sentence is no more than 6mths even though it was around 18 years ago

Re: emigrating on k3 with conviction
I thought a waiver was only used for hardship grounds thanks for your help also.
