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?? and is it worth risking not declaring it??

Assault only constitutes 'moral turpitude' if it's: (a) with intent to kill ; or (b) with intent to commit rape ; or (c) with intent to commit robbery ; (d) with intent to commit serious bodily harm ; or (e) with a dangerous or deadly weapon. Other forms of assault do not constitute moral turpitude: http://www.s tate.gov/doc uments/organ ization/8694 2.pdf...

However the US Department of Homeland Security's rules state that anyone who has ever been arrested (even if totally innocent) or convicted of any offence is ineligible to travel under the Visa Waiver Program (i.e. using an 'ESTA'):

(i.e. you must seek a visa).

While the US authorities have no direct access to UK criminal records, a great deal of information is passed on under the guise of 'anti-terrorism' (even, no doubt, when the individuals involved are in no way suspected of terrorist activities). It would be extremely unwise to try to cheat the system.

OK, if you declare it and apply for a visa you may get one, this may well be considered "moral turpitude" so they could turn you down. So now you are flirting with not saying anything. To be fair it will probably work as they do not have access to British criminal records per se, but if they do get wind then you'll just get sent straight back with no hope of ever going their again.
