Travelling from the UK to the USA with a criminal record

what's the obsession with fucking florida and shitty disneyland?? :confused:

Florida has superb beaches on the rough Atlantic and the calm, warm Gulf Coast. Has Miami which is a buzzing city, the beautiful Everglades, Kennedy Space Centre and in Orlando you have some of the world's best theme parks.

btw, it's Disney World in Florida, not Land.

Given the amount of land that Florida has effectively ceded to Disney and the other big theme park operators to do whatever they want in, it could well be that they are becoming the new state?

Tbf, before Disney moved in Orlando was a swamp, still is in places, just last year some poor kid got eaten by an alligator in the lake in front of the Magic Kingdom.
 
It's swampy and humid. Very little redeemable features except the beaches. I have no idea why so many people retire there. It's one of the most boring places I've ever been. And Miami is also one of the most tacky and overrated cities I've ever been to.
 
Ok so thanks for all the info in this thread, I thought my hubby needed was a visa but turns out I can answer no to all the esta questions... but .... I started to fill in the ds-160 form, I haven't submitted it tho and am now just going to apply for a esta, should I just wait for the to delete after 30 days and they apply for the esta? Do they read Ds-160 that have not been submitted will this look suspicious now apply for an esta? Mind is now on over drive can you tell lol

No they won't. Go esta, have a nice time.
 
i've filled in a ds160 form and enclosed all my previous convictions however havent yet paid and booked for an appointment.after reading these posts I have now filled out and been approved by esta to travel to the united states and intend to do so and not tell them about my convictions. will the convictions i have told them about on the ds160 form flag up or be saved on there database and result in me being refused entry when i tick the box saying I have no convictions once i get to the customs? any advice is appreciated as i intend to fly out next month
 
Apply for ESTA, admit nothing, have a lovely time.

Also, if that's your real name that's not too clever is it.

No one here could tell you this for sure but out of allllll the many many many posters who have visited his thread it seems like you have managed to do pretty much the worst option out of all of them :thumbs:

No one knows...

But please come back and tell us if you got in or not :D
 
Sadly I think we have been brainwashed to be truthful and your honesty will pay off.

It doesn't. Sometimes you have to lie and be selective with the truth. other wise you will be fucked over again and again.
 
Tell the truth and you will ensure you will never get in. Lie and you will likely get in. Worst case scenario, you lie, et found out , youwill be locked in a cell overnight and sent home and not be allowed in again.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket FFS. Disneyland isn't all that good. Go in overland from Mexico - if you get knocked back, then you can still have fun in lawless Tijuana
 
Read the thread - all the advice you need is already here.
ive not saw anything on this thread that states for definite if they will store the ds160 data although i havent paid for an appointment (but have had the application activated). Therefore was hoping if anyone else had been in a situation like myself so i would know if I would be better just going down the visa route
 
I am also in the same situation joe. have read for hours trying to figure out what is going to happen.

I am only 20 and terrified to be separated from my family.

Do you think they will really read through my applications when I arrive especially when I'm with my family?

Will it flag up?

What would they do to me if they did find out?

I am so scared now because I applied for this stupid visa. If anyone has been in the same situation please help a girl out :facepalm:

Xx

If you've applied for a visa and given the US embassy details of your convictions, chances are that US border control will know about it. Can't say for sure of course.
 
Thanks for the reply.

I cancelled the application back in April then went ahead and applied for visa and it came back accepted. I have checked the visa status and it is NO STATUS. Does this mean it has not been processed or opened or will it be on file regardless? Will it make a difference that I'm going with my parents and they might not look into it?

Thank you xx

You applied for two different visas? The other questions I have no idea about, unfortunately.
 
Sorry that's my mistake I applied for the esta and it came back accepted.

I have no option but to travel. Hopefully it will work out
Yeah, good luck. The ESTA is basically a pre-clearance, and US border control can turn almost anyone away for pretty much any reason, or none at all, but that goes for everyone. Chances are you'll be fine.
