Going To The Us With A Criminal Record??

[iodoughty]

I want to go to the US with my Partner in November 2013, But in Novermeber 2010, i was charged with GBH without intent (section 20).
I want to know if GBH without intent is classed as moral turpitude or not as ive looked, on several sites but getting controversial responses!!
And do i need to state this When applying for a visa to the US!! i Know legally i am suppose to, but Do i need to??
Thanks For your time, and i hope someone can help :)

Do you need to obey US law?

You have the choice of lying on the ESTA form - you may or may not get caught out - or applying to the US Embassy for a visa. You must declare it then. They will decide whether it's moral turpitude or not - there is no clear cut one to one relationship between UK categories and US ones so different sites have differing views.

My understanding is if you admit to it (ie don't lie) on the ESTA form you will be refused and told to apply for a visa
