Hello, I have browsed through the forum and have picked up on a lot of useful information, however I feel as if it does not apply to me as much, as my case is very specific and complex to be compared to others. I apologise in advance if I have missed some information in the forum that does in fact apply to my situation. My situation is that I received a caution for possession of substance b (marijuana) 3 years ago in the United Kingdom while I was a student at a university there. I had a visa to study in the United Kingdom, so I myself am not from the UK. I am now in the process of receiving a job in the USA, thus I require a US working visa. I feel as if that in my case, there are many variables that cannot be compared to, so I feel quite vulnerable on applying for the work visa, vulnerability such as, would the UK embassy share information to the US embassy in regards to myself, or perhaps the fact that I am originally from saudi arabia, they might be more fixated on me due to all of the horrific tragedies terrorists have inflicted onto others internationally. I myself have never lived in a middle eastern country but in europe instead, i am quite western, however I feel that these variables wouldnt matter to them but instead that I, a saudi, may be stereotyped compared to others, thus alarming them which may lead for them to make a further background criminal check, including the UK. My question is therefore, do I have the same odds as everyone else, or are mine much much slimmer. I really do appreciate the time for anyone to answer. Thank you.
