So I had my interview at the British American embassy, I was quite nervous but held my confidence, answered all questions asked at my interview truthfully, they never even questioned my criminal record. (I dressed smart and realized once I saw other people I probably didn’t need to
. But I wanted to make a good impression).
The lady told me on the spot my visa was granted, I picked it up a few days later with a 1 year business visa.
fast forward a couple of months, I flew and went through customs fine, just had to wait for a few mins in a room whilst they verified my documents and paperwork to show why I was out there for business. I wasn’t worried as my work colleague who flew out with me had exactly the same.
I am currently chilling on the 25th floor on my 5* hotel in the USA, so I can say it was a success.
my advice for anyone else here looking for information - say no and go!
