How does the U.S check each individuals criminal record upon entry?

Question

Surely- one could get around this, by applying for a passport in a different country (for example- my parents are Greek, which allows me to gain a Greek passport)... Currentley have a British one- spent criminal records listed.

Would like to mention that Interpol, is not at all relavent to to immigration to the United States- unless you are, Osama bin Laden, or Tony Montana.

Answer 1

They don't. Instead they have a list of database of which people to be hold for more questioning. Once the wanted person is held, he/she will be sent to the proper authority, then this authority will open up the person's criminal records.


You don't need a passport from a different country to get around it, since a different passport already can do the trick. The secret is that the passport is not in a list of database of which people to be hold for more questioning.

Answer 2

US Immigration does not check the criminal record of everyone entering the country. They merely check to see if an individual is on a known watch or terrorist list.

Answer 3

Interpol

Answer 4

NO OBVIOUSLY
