Criminal record and US Visa
My husband has a criminal record of 6 arrest for burglary, deception and theft (moral turpitude) between 1990 and 1992. He telephoned the 'us embassy' to ask advice on getting a visa. The woman on the phone took his name, address and passport number. We now realise that this is just a call centre and not a direct line to the embassy. As the crimes were so long ago and we wish to go to florida on holiday with the 3 kids do you think it would be ok for him to travel under the Waiver Programme? If he got a new passport and therefore a new passport number would there be any link between my husbands telephone enquiry and the immigration officers on arrival in the States. I wish i had read the Q and A on this website before he made the telephone call!
Thanks for any advice

However if he's been clean for 16 years then yes he doesn't deserve further persecution. I don't think the US has any direct way of knowing about criminal records etc so he'll probably get away with it.

what i cannot understand, since you are aware of your husband criminal record, of all the places there are to acquire information on this, you choose the US embassy.
pray and hope the woman in the embassy didn't document his information and put his name on 'alert'. why would they need you husband name just to answer a simple question? couldn't you give a fake name? please post how things turned out. i wish you best of luck and hope everything turns out in your favour.

Right so having a less than perfect childhood is a licence to become theiving lowlife is it? You've only mentioned your husband's activities I bet you have your own to match too eh??
The woman at the embassy would amost certainly have made a note so it looks like Eurodisney, the froggs ain't to bothered on the moral turpitude front.
Mirror don't act surprised, can you not see the level of intellect you are dealing with here?
