My dad wrote a bad check thirty five years ago and he was convicted fairly recently (bad check without the intent of fraud I believe. Yes, the justice system here is THAT slow. In fact, the people who filed the case died of old age like ten years ago). First off, I'd like to clarify that he has no other criminal record. Just that bad check. He's now a senior citizen and he's currently working. I won't elaborate on that bad check thing, but just to let everyone know, he didn't own that account, he was just the right hand of the big boss and hence the signatory.

He also lived and studied in the US years and years ago when a little boy. But I'm sure that wouldn't make a difference.

Anyway, I was thinking of having my parents visit (on a tourist visa). What's the likelihood of my dad being issued a visa? Does he have to sign a visa waiver considering his conviction? I read up on crimes involving moral turpitude and I'm not sure if my dad's case is covered.

Usually that would not be a CIMT, but its up to the Consulate.

Only way of finding out is to apply.
