Re: Memorandum of Conviction?
I'm assuming he's paid for the visa, because he mentions not receiving the confirmation. I have no idea if abandoning the process at this stage, without forwarding documents or scheduling an appointment, would constitute a denial or not.
To be honest, after paying the MRV fee, which is a not inconsiderable amount of money, I would suggest the OP continues with the visa application. After all, there is a criminal past involved, and the OP genuinely believed they were ineligible for the VWP.

Re: Memorandum of Conviction?
Hi
I came here looking for help - but answers are becoming less helpful...
In my original post I have pointed out that I Completed the 'DS-160 Visa Form' I have my ACPO and VCU1. Have called embassy to arrange appointment. But need to make a second call once I have uploaded all my forms. Does anyone know the procedure for this?
For the record I just want to take two weeks holiday in Florida - come home -- tick that Theme Park box and say job done!
My original post asked one question about MoC. Please refer to it...
It really is a simple question...

Re: Memorandum of Conviction?
The MOC would certainly be useful in establishing the exact particulars of your case. As far as scanning your supporting documents goes, give the embassy a bit of time. They'll send you an email pretty soon which will tell you the address to forward your scanned paperwork to.

The procedure is that you call the advice line, pay the MRV fee and give them your details. The embassy then send you an email asking you to forward copies of all supporting documentation. The Visa Coordination Unit then consider those documents. You're then sent a second email inviting you to call the advice line back and schedule the appointment. Then you turn up to the embassy on the allotted day/time and have your interview.
As Rene has already pointed out to you, I addressed the question of the MOC previously. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Or you can search my old posts by clicking on my username, or search the entire forum using the link at the head of the page.

Re: Memorandum of Conviction?
If you were expecting this process to happen overnight, let me tell you it won't. If things go well, you might send off your documents within a week and be able to schedule an appointment for a week or so later than that. If things don't go smoothly, you could be looking at a month or more before you can get an appointment. Then, if you get the visa, it'll be another 2 weeks to get your passport back. If you need a waiver (unlikely in your case, but you never know), it could take 6 or 7 months to finalise.

Re: Memorandum of Conviction?
I did the same about 25 years ago.
I ran across a road, guy in car hooted at me, I shouted at him, got busted by a police officer who was on the pavement.
I was charged and convicted of "Threatening and abusive behaviour" with a £25 fine.
I was granted an ESTA in 2010 and again in 2012.
As you mentioned, this 'crime' falls in the lowest category of offence.

Re: Memorandum of Conviction?
According to the Wikipedia version and topics of CIMT, It is not deemed a CIMT. But it will be down to the CONOFF I guess!
If you have told them you have a conviction, it is best to get a memorandum of conviction, this will show everything they need to know and that you are being honest with them!
My offence is categorised in Offence Group C, which is the lowest UK category.
Question: Do I need a Memorandum of Conviction?
Is swearing at another person CIMT? There was no violence involved and this was nearly 18 years ago...
Are my chances low if this is classed as CIMT?

Re: Memorandum of Conviction?
Thanks Wolfy
I do have an MoC (hence having so much detail). But it's dated 2004 and relates to my old postal address. All the details relate to my only conviction.
Should I apply for a new Moc from my current address?
Or wait and see which documents the Embassy requires me to scan and upload?
On the telephone they just asked for the ACPO and VCU1 to be scanned.

Re: Memorandum of Conviction?
I agree with MC on this one, if they want an updated/new copy they will ask for it and even then it should only take a few days to obtain as you have all the dates required!

Re: Memorandum of Conviction?
Hi all...
Quick update.
I scanned my documents and emailed them to embassy yesterday (Monday). Received a response yesterday afternoon to make an interview appointment. Called them this morning - there was availability this Friday! I took an appointment for next week as I'm self employed and need to schedule my workload.
