Re: Arrested for Affray - Does he need a visa?

The question asks a little more that just arrests/convictions. The arrest/conviction needs to be one involving a CIMT. Hence the OP's problem.

Re: Police Certificate

I can't but I dare say that trying convince a Con Off that you had convictions without written proof could be interesting. I bet they don't often get that.

Re: Consular processing and fingerprint checks

Re: Affray conviction

I read in the 9 FAM 40.21 notes that "Riot" was NOT considered a CIMT. "Riot" being the most serious of public order offences.
