Help? Security Checks & Our AOS Interview
Hi guys, hope all is well.
I have a question as my mind is in HIGH gear regarding our Tuesday AOS interview.
I haven't given much thought about the security aspects of this whole deal as 1) Dave is a pretty trustworthy guy and I know he's never murdered anyone and 2) we weren't required to provide police clearance as he entered on VW.
Our interview letter asks about contact Dave may have had with the police. I don't know how much detail to go into.
He's never been arrested or convicted although he had the cops sort out a couple of incidents when he was much younger in the UK (15+ years ago).
1) His brother dropped some weed on the ground and told the cops it was Dave's instead. They sorted it out and nothing happened.
2) The cops broke up a fight he got in after his sister was beat up by her boyfriend.
3) He got a producer.
Will that stuff show up on any checks they run? Do they want to know about it? Should we mention it or are we only supposed to talk about stuff that results in arrest/conviction/fine, etc. (of which he has none)?
Oooh, I wish it was next week already.
Thanks for any advice!

As Bob Marley said, don't worry 'bout a ting. If Dave was never charged and successfully convicted, he has no criminal record. And even if he had been, the offender's rehabilitation act would have cleared them after 10 years, as those types of offences are not in the categories that 'stick', if you see what I mean.
If he'd have been a City fan, then that'd be totally unforgiveable
Anyway, Jessika just said that she should have your handle (take a look at our new avatar...)
Good luck and sleep soundly!

Thanks for the info, appreciate your reply. Thankfully Dave has no actual arrests or anything (and best of all he ain't a City fan), so we should be OK. Geez, what a hooligan!
Tell Jessika I said hello and I like the new avatar! *Breathless sigh* - isn't Kissing Brits sooo much fun!!!? LOL
Have a happy weekend and you two kids stay warm!

Although the following relates to the VWP please note the London Embassy
advice regarding the UK Rehabilitation of Offenders Act

Important: Some travelers may not be eligible to enter the United
States visa free under the VWP. These include people who have been
arrested, even if the arrest did not result in a criminal
conviction, those with criminal records, (the Rehabilitation of
Offenders Act does not apply to U.S. visa law), certain serious
communicable illnesses, those who have been refused admission into,
or have been deported from, the United States, or have previously
overstayed on the visa waiver program. Such travelers must apply
for special restricted visas. If they attempt to travel without a
visa, they may be refused entry into the United States.
Note: Travelers with minor traffic offenses which did not result in
an arrest and/or conviction for the offense may travel visa free,
provided they are otherwise qualified
