What was the caution for? That makes all the difference in the world, in US legal eyes anyway. They do not recognise our rehabilitation laws so 5 or 8 years is irrelevant - if it's the wrong sort of crime you, strictly speaking, need a visa, and will do for life.

There are those who say they won't know anyway if you don't declare it. They may be right.
