COULD NOT GET VISA APPOINTMENT IN TIME - HAD TO LIE ON ESTA! EXTREMELY GRATEFUL FOR ADVICE PLEASE PLEASE HELP, SO STRESSED!
Hi guys, i seem to have got myself into a very sticky situation.
I am travelling to panama for a month holiday with my girlfriend in less than two weeks. We are in transit in Atlanta airport for 3-4 hours, and for this short stay i still need a US visa... with two weeks to spare, i proceeded to sort out my visa, initially attempting the ESTA route.
When i was 17, i was arrested for possession of a small amount of weed, after which i was given a 'youth reprimand' (youth equivalent of a caution) which i was told would be wiped off my record after 2 years...
SO, Because of this i decided that i would take the safe route and apply for a visa rather than lie on ESTA application by saying i hadn't been 'arrested or convicted' of drug related offences. i filled out the DS-160 form, where I declared my arrest. I then proceeded to book an appointment, only to find the first available one was on 10 sept 2014 (OVER A MONTH AFTER I AM DUE TO FLY)...
I then called the extremely un-helpful US embassy, who told me that i can get an emergency appointment, all i have to do is book the nearest appointment and from there book an emergency appointment. After booking the appointment for 10 sept (paying 100£), i see that only applicants with extremely special circumstances (medical, scholarly etc.) can get an emergency appointment. (IM SCREWED!)
I am then left with no choice but to cancel my appointment, and go via ESTA, answering 'NO' to the drug arrest/conviction question, the application is approved.
MY QUESTIONS:
- Upon arrival in the US, will they have access to my in-complete visa application where i declared my arrest?
- If they realise, will they deport me straight away, or rather put my on my flight to panama (leaving 4 hours after I land)?
- Do I have to pay for my flight home if they send me home?
- Will they consider/care about the fact that if they send me home my girlfriend will have to travel to dangerous panama alone!?
I have the option of buying a new one-way flight (minimum 1000£) to panama which does not go through the US.
WHAT DO I DO?????? SHOULD I TURN UP AND HOPE THEY OVERLOOK THE INCONSISTENCY OR BOOK A NEW FLIGHT AND LOOSE NEARLY £2000
WHAT A MESS!!! ALL ADVICE MUCH APPRECIATED

I'm afraid all you're get is the same advice that's been dished out for ages. Most probably you'll be fine but if for some reason they decide to look a bit closer, then you may come unstuck.

I was just saying like there is no need to throw abuse I'm flying on the esta in December like these threads has helped and I no a lad who flew there with multiple convictions got there flew around America and found a wife and now is living there so that might put people's minds off the fact about getting turned away there is thousands thousands of people flying on esta forms daily think if they wanted to question you they would stop every single 1 of them people it's if your wanted as someone said before obviously if your flagged up no chance but like look it at how many people fly on it with records or not just take it off your mind and everything will be fine go worrying then you will just worry worry and worry to the stage where you will just wanna go visa route and get declined and be banned for years so my advice is to take the full on risk and have a good holiday

Lol we'll it's common sense if uk don't share data with usa then if they wanted to stop these criminals they would do a check on every person on a esta form

And yes it's a first but like I've spoken to a lad a lot about this who had the same situation

yes I am pretty confident they do not check everyone on ESTA but I am concerned that because I have admitted on my VISA application that I was arrested that the information will clash and the system will pick up on the inconsistant answers on the two applications

You're just going to have to take that chance I guess. Or have a look back through the 25 pages of this thread and see if anyone else has done that. I can't remember

I am so fucking glad I am only going to Skeggy for my hols. No visa worries, no arsey immigration officials, decent fish and chips and won't need to miss any episodes of Corry.
And my criminal record will only be between me and my probation officer. Fuck him, and all.

Don't know how many people know this (or if its already been mentioned) but if anyone wants to play it reallllly safe, you can get pre-clearance at Dublin (and Shannon I think?) to enter the US, so if you didn't want to risk a 7 hour flight and all that malarkey at the end, you could start there and get it over with, then go straight to baggage collection in the land of the free.
Hi, just wondering what happened to twelvetreesb and his problem with the visa application before the waiver? I am in a similar situation in that I have submitted the DS 160 form to begin the visa application process, however now believe that was a mistake as an ESTA would gave been sufficient.
Does anyone know where the information goes? Would it be linked to the passport on arrival in the US?
Thanks for any help!

Ring immigration and ask. As long as you keep the call below 30 seconds and route it through China you should be ok. Check Bourne films for further info.
But seriously, ring the UK embassy and ask. Just say it's a general enquiry or make some excuse up.
Hey Peeps,
Having read alot of this thread, I guess im looking for peace of mind more than anything.
Looking to travel to Florida with my partners family in March time for a holiday. Luckily this is being paid for by my partners step dad, unfortunately a member of the travelling party was convicted of cultivation of cannabis some 5 years ago. Although no custodial sentance was served a fine was the only outcome. From reading through this thread my opinion is not to declare the offence and fill in the ESTA with no to all questions regarding drug offences. Once again, I have read the US and UK do not share criminal records, Im assuming this is still the case unless anyone knows any different ?
The last thing the person in question wants is to get to the States and be refused entry in front of the family and have the shame of it all coming out as they know nothing of the conviction. Or indeed to be refused entry on to the plane in the UK.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

Funnier than he thinks he is.
Well he has 2 choices. Apply for a visa and 100% guarantee refusal and bar on entry to USA. For 10 years. Or blag it and answer no to everything and get an Esta, and take chance. There is no 3 rd way. It's one or the other. If he takes the chance he may get in, declare it or apply for visa and it's a definite no. Guess his 3rd option would be to pull put of the trip now, thus saving yourself, I mean him, the trouble of being found out for your, his, previous convictions!Hey Peeps,
