    im in a simaila situation, all paid up for a trip to NYC but i got a drug possesion caution, for 1 tablet of XTC,4 yearsago. im planning on not declaring it and bluffing it through, will they really know about my caution? i have a biometric passport, they fingerprint u at U.S and the uk police have my fingerprints, but is it all linked?
    The drug possession isn't the issue. It's the moral turpitude indicated by the combination of bad spelling, bad grammar and use of sms abbreviations that'll get you denied entry.

                Just spotted something on the Times website about this: US to start charging visitor entry fee this summer



                The application normally takes a few minutes but can take up to 72 hours and there has been a 99 per cent approval of applications.
                I've just done mine and it approved straight away i.e. subsecond, not even minutes. Obviously I'm not the guy they are looking for. Also I've got a LOT of previous.
                How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                  Last chance to apply before they start charging. The site has ground to a halt!
