A huge difference as far as the law is concerned yet the only real difference was the intent.

I had no idea I had been given a stolen cheque when I went to the bank to pay it in, surely that must count for something?

I guess your right, probably best to just get a visa if I want to go. We have been entering the greencard lottery for a few years now so wouldn't want to jeopardise that in case our number ever came up.

Thanks for the responses tho guys.
