US B2 VISA Question
hi
my wife got her b2 visa at new delhi and she "might" think she has a warrant for shoplifting in the US and is afraid of being detained at the port of entry we are traveling for Christmas.
would they have issued the b2 visa if she had a warrant in the US? because she might just be paranoid and we don't want to throw the money on a lawyer for this. thanks

Re: US B2 VISA Question
In another post you indicated your wife was a UK citizen. Why would she need a B-2 visa from New Delhi?
They might have, yes... especially if whatever incident was not disclosed on the application!

Re: US B2 VISA Question
How would the US federal government know that a local town judge ordered an arrest warrant on a shoplifting charge? This presupposes an almost unimaginable level of interagency cooperation at the local, state, federal, and international level... something that is far beyond the scope of a simple B-2 visitor visa!
Bottom line - if she's worried she'll be arrested, then she shouldn't travel. Simple!

Re: US B2 VISA Question
Something a bit odd about this whole situation overstaying, applying for visas in different countries to where the passport issued, a ?shoplifting record all seems very off the wall. Sure ian has seen worse though :P
