usa visa - criminal convictions

[nick49]

hi,
i know there are already a lot of questions on this site and others regarding this subject but i would like your opinions on my personal circumstances.

i got convicted of theft from employer in january of this year and was given a 9 month sentence, suspended for two years. Since this time i have now got a decent job and have got my life back on track. I would love to go to Florida again but with the conviction was wondering what i should do and if it would be worth applying for a visa before my suspended sentence is up. Also is this the kind of information that American officials would be able to find out if i just went? although i dont think i would as wouldnt be able to cope with the stress, just would like to know.
Thanks for taking the time to read.

In my opinion, they are more concerned about you being a threat to their nation (drugs, volence, subversion, etc).
I reckon that you would be be OK on a prepaid holiday but you would definitely have to get your visa before you go.
