Visa for emigrate to America
Good Morning
I am 43 Years of age in October 2010, my wife will be 48 in March 2010, we are both British citizens, and both looking at the possibility to emigrate to America
My wife is an ODP Operating Department Practitioner with in the NHS same grade as a staff nurse and would be willing to undertake the course to become a surgical technologist. I am currently a pension’s administrator within the NHS previous to this I was a service engineer.
My wife’s son lives in America married to an American he has a green card and has lived there for almost 8 years. He would sponsor us and provide accommodation indefentilly.
We own our home if we were to sell up and move we would have in the region of £100,000 to hand
My only problem is when I was younger I received a criminal record for three things all this happened in my stupid late teens 1. ABH 2. Theft 3. Sat in a stationary vehicle under the influence of alcohol.
I have been granted a visa on two occasions from the American Embassy when we have been on vacation in America at our son’s residence.
With this I ask is there a chance of getting a visa to live in America look forward to your reply

> I have been granted a visa on two occasions from the American Embassy
Presumably you told them of your criminal record? If so, I'm quite surprised they issued you with a Visa, as your criminal record involves crimes of what the Americans 'moral turpitude'.

Well I guess you had to because you will have had to supply them with a police certificate?
Just for my own interest, how were you dealth with when you went to the embassy and told them about the record.
If you were given a visa before, then you shouldn't have a problem getting another one, because all the visas are given thesame conditions for issue. However, with a residency, you have to be considered useful to the uthorities in that you will supply expertise that is in high demand and low supply.
By law, you are ineligible for a visa, however, the authorities must have provided you a waiver of this ineligibility before as it was so long ago. Is ths correct?
