Crimminal record and US visa!

[a_hobden]

hi my sister and her bf are hoping to go out to florida next year. The only problems is he was a bit of a idiot in his younger days (14,15,16) and has a crimminal record. He never went to court about anything. So my question is what crimes stop you getting a visa?

Don't worry
If he was under 18 at the time there's no need for a visa - according to the Embassy's rules and regs

Another question. I had a driving conviction for driving without due care and attention which happened 15 years ago. It is no longer on my driving licience but will it be a problem?

Thanks.

I don't think minor driving offences where you just received a fine and didn't appear in court or were arrested affect you when using a visa waiver.

Thanks for the information

What about an ABH? I have tried finding info but so far nothing.

Apprently my brother-in-law got an ABH but only went to court. It happened about 10 to 15 years ago and he would have been between 17 and 23

I would say that with ABH a visa would be required.

If you are arrested you need a visa.

If you are convicted of something you need a visa.
