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

Site is back up today and you have to pay.

With persistent F5-ing, I got my approval yesterday evening.

I flew into Newark a couple of weeks ago and while going through immigration my fingerprints didn't read correctly on the fancy little scanner. A guard was called over and I was escorted upstairs where I was then taken to a bit for soft processing because apparently there was in issue with my fingerprints not matching my last scan from 3 years ago. Fifteen minutes of sitting about I was called forward, asked some questions as the guy looked stuff up on a computer, the passport was stamped and I was in.

Thankfully no rubber gloves were required, which is lucky since I'm allergic to latex

Hey guys. Was not sure where to post this so thought this was a good place.

I'm currently planning a trip to LV for late 2011. (have not booked flights or anything yet). I filled out the online waiver form a few months ago and got approved straight away! However after looking over some stuff I am starting to worry a little. When I was 14 (I am now 23) I was arrested when I was with my friend and he was caught shoplifting. I had never been in trouble with the police before and have not been in trouble with them since. I had my finger prints ect taken. Anyway on the waiver form I clicked NO to the criminal conviction section as this completely slipped my mind.

I am now in a situation where I am a little scared to book anything incase when I get to Macarren I am refused entry!

I have never been to the USA before and if I had to then would travel to London to get a Visa however that would mean having to explain this situation to people.

Any help and advice would be greatly received.

Thanks

B) Have you ever been arrested or convicted for an offense or crime involving moral turpitude or a violation related to a controlled substance; or have been arrested or convicted for two or more offenses for which the aggregate sentence to confinement was five years or more; or have been a controlled substance trafficker; or are you seeking entry to engage in criminal or immoral activities?




Unless you were shoplifting drugs or hookers you're fine.

Don't worry about it.

WHS

They are on the lookout to stop terrorists and other major criminals, not lousy shop lifters.

But what if I get to immigration and they find out that I have been previously arrested. Will they have any of this information as I know the offenders rehabilitation act 1974 is not valid in the USA?

An arrest is not a conviction. Or were you convicted?
