do i need visa to visit usa if i have convictions,if so where do i apply and how long ,flying thursday.?

Answer 1

Go to the USCIS website and look at Visas. General visa requirements are:
General requirements for foreign nationals seeking temporary admission include, but are not limited to, the following:

The purpose of the visit must be temporary;
The foreign national must agree to depart at the end of his/her authorized stay or extension;
The foreign national must be in possession of a valid passport;
A foreign residence must be maintained by the foreign national, in most instances;
The foreign national may be required to show proof of financial support;
The foreign national must be admissable or have obtained a waiver for any ground of inadmissability;
The foreign national must abide by the terms and conditions of admission.

I would call them at 1-800-375-5283 or call the US Consulate in Sydney to see if your convictions are grounds for inadmissability. Good luck!

Well... for starters, you don't need a visa if you're a national from a European Union country, Canada or Japan. If you do need a visa you will never get it in time for a flight on Thursday. The process in some countries can take up to a month. Find the website of the American embassy in your country to find out more details. Look under the consular/visa section. All the information you need will be there. Oh... and yes, a criminal record in general will disqualify you so your best bet is to not mention it and hope the embassy doesn't find out.

Answer 3

only one visa is needed for all of China. you do not opt for a visa for Hong Kong or Macau. You shourld really relish Guangzhou! Shenzhen and Hong Kong are only a short bus holiday away and are also large places to purchase and are available across. in case you'd be crossing borders to different international places you will get a multi-get entry to visa. consistently watch your wallet heavily and good purchase not ordinary!!!

Answer 4

depends what the convictions are for if serious then you have no chance but if only minor then just fill out a visa waiver on the plane just dont mention them

Answer 5

it is not true that you are automatically excluded from the us with a conviction

but you are automatically ineligible for the visa waiver program so you absolutely will need a visa

and you have left it way too late to get one

Answer 6

you need a visa whether or not you have convictions.

having convictions will mean that your visa will be denied.

Answer 7

depends on your country of origin...your travel agent should have let you know...generally, it takes a few days to get a visa..I am hoping you already have a passport from your country of origin...may be a very short trip.

Answer 8

Your travel agent should have told you and got you a visa.

However they wont let you in with convictions.

Answer 9

They are not interested in parking or speeding offences. Don't bother to declare them on the declaration you fill in on the aircraft.

But certainly anything more serious - if they find out, you won't get in.

Answer 10

You wont get a visa if you have a criminal record so you'll have to go somewhere else.
