Default Past Indiscretions.....

Hey,

I was wondering if anyone has had ever tried to go to the U.S. with a minor criminal record? I've heard some horror stories about people getting turned away. Any advice from the other travellers, whats the deal, how do they know???? Thanks

How minor?

Don't think the authorities in the US are interested in harboring petty criminals, but don't risk not applying for a US visa! You will get caught. The UK and US share information that declares whether you have a criminal record, so if you get found out you will be put on the next flight back.

Just a minor drug related charge, back when they cared a lot more.

Thanks for the tip, and the link! Looking into it :)

Smile border crossing people

I would give yourself extra time at the border. If you're patient and friendly with the border crossing people, it will go much better. And try to cross the border at a time when it's not as crowded. If the border agent is happy, you might have a better chance of crossing.
