I was convicted of Drink Driving (DR10) a few weeks ago (1st offence) and I was due to go on holiday to Peru and transit via Newark Airport and spend a few days in New York on the way back. I read on the US embassy website that I now needed a visa (if you have ever been convicted or arressted - even if the arrest didn't lead to a charge) and couldn't use the visa waiver form. So I cancelled the holiday. I am now planning to go in November and I am happy to apply for a visa at the US emabssy, but the police check required for the Embassy appointment takes 40 days and the embassy decision takes another 14. So will i have to go through this process every time I want to go to america on a non-immigrant visa? Or are there other visa types that once I have it, I can travel to the US for multiple entries over a lond period (maybe a few years)? I have read about a waiver of ineligibility - what does this allow and who is it for please? I am British and live in the UK.

I actually have a idea. you would possibly want to attempt basically going to the U. S. and getting away with it. i do not see how the options on all criminal convictions and arrests may be despatched to the U. S. from the united kingdom. that's SOOO a lot options. at the same time as did the authorities.ever deal with a project like this and get it correct. My guess is that you receives there and the immigration guy will stamp your passport and say "Have a most suitable stay." I even ought to operate, drink using is truly undesirable. i am hoping you study your lesson and do not do it back.

I think you go through the same procedure pretty much for every visa application regaless of visa type. There no US multi-entry visas from the UK for tourists; the existing multi-entry visas are immigrant, worker, or business visas.

Try flying KLM via Amsterdam instead. It's getting to be a real drag going to or through the US.
