Re: Visiting my girlfriend in the US with a UK criminal record.

Re: Visiting my girlfriend in the US with a UK criminal record.

Hello

Thanks for that.
My solicitor said the only records they have are the common assaults, which they say is a section 37 which is the same as pushing someone apparently. She said they also...

Re: Visiting my girlfriend in the US with a UK criminal record.

Hello again, thanks for getting back to me.
My girlfriend also mentioned getting married too rather than the k1. But she believes the k1 is the quicker visa to get? Is that right?
Also, once all...

Re: Visiting my girlfriend in the US with a UK criminal record.

Thanks again for your post.
​​​​​​Am I right in thinking that my chances of getting the k1 have just dropped from slim to none?
​​​​​​Yes I know I made some stupid mistakes years ago, I admit I...

Re: Visiting my girlfriend in the US with a UK criminal record.

Thanks for your reply.

The US attorney did mention the theft one was the most serious, and when I asked her where I stand with the ESTA, she went and checked.
When she returned, she told both me...

Re: Visiting my girlfriend in the US with a UK criminal record.

​​​​​​Thankyou very much for your reply.
My other half has said that she will sponsor me. I contacted my old solicitors today and asked to confirm what my offences were.

She said one from 1999...

Re: Visiting my girlfriend in the US with a UK criminal record.

I know it probably sounded daft, but thanks for clearing that up.

Also, her family and herself have already said that they'd sponsor me.
They know people who would give me work, maybe a written...

Re: Visiting my girlfriend in the US with a UK criminal record.

If what they say is wrong, the problem is, we don't have this bad advice in writing, it was verbal during our appointment. The immigration attorney we seen in the US, spent a full hour with my...

Re: Visiting my girlfriend in the US with a UK criminal record.

I meant to add, upon arriving in the USA, both my girlfriend and I went to see another immigration attorney about this, and they said the same thing.
It was expensive though, but we both wanted to...

Re: Visiting my girlfriend in the US with a UK criminal record.

Thankyou.
I'm just hoping that now, once the Acro certificate arrives, that they can grant me my k1 visa.
I've tried to do everything right, so fingers crossed 🤞

I went to see an immigration attorney, I told them everything what I've...

Re: Visiting my girlfriend in the US with a UK criminal record.

Oh sorry, I thought I'd have to apply online for the ESTA first. Then if that's declined which it most likely will be, from the information I've learned from here.
That the next stage after that...

Re: Visiting my girlfriend in the US with a UK criminal record.

Apply for the ESTA or to contact the embassy first?
Also is it better that I apply for the Acro police certificate now too as I'll likely be declined for the ESTA anyway

Re: Visiting my girlfriend in the US with a UK criminal record.

After reading more into this and going over previous comments in this thread.

In your opinion, does it seem likely that I'll get a visa via the petty offence exemption?

Re: Visiting my girlfriend in the US with a UK criminal record.

Thankyou very much.

The first one for common assault, I was told it was self defence. But they still convicted me of common assault.

Thankyou very much 👍🏻

Re: Visiting my girlfriend in the US with a UK criminal record.

Understandable. So they want to know about all family, even if you don't really know them that well and any other blood relations that I'm aware of? I'm going to struggle with that, as I have distant...
