USA Visa Trouble
8 Answers
I applied for a USA Visa in 2006 the same year when i was convicted for fraud i didnt go to prison i got a fine and community service the visa was refused because not enough time had passed. I have a stamp in my passport which says usa visa application received. Should i apply for another visa this year? or take the chance and travel without 1(i have a wedding in the usa) or will they know that i was refused a visa in 2006?
Thanks Jon

I believe there is a time limit on offences being countable.
Far better to approach the USA embassy in this country
for their comments on this matter.
Since 9/11 the American authorities have become very very
unyielding in such matters.

It can be up to 15 years before you are entirely in the clear - I don't think you will get a visa after 2. You can always try.
The chances of being picked up if you attempt the visa waiver route are quite high - the stamp in the passport will see to that. And there will be two lies on the form - saying you have no criminal record and saying you have never been refused a US visa. So bang go future visas.
You are going to have to miss that wedding - hope it's not your own......
