Criminal record!?

[Beccabrian222 1]

Hey all, I have my VISA interview on weds in less than two Days, I have just got my police certificate back and it says I travelled on a train in 2008 and didn't pay my train fare, and apparently I have a criminal record because of this! I had no idea untill I received my police certificate, anyway i was wondering if this will affect me? I am so worried, this has been such a long journey and I just want to be with my love, I have had a j-1 visa 3 times over the last 4 years to work at summer camp in the USA where I met my love, now we plan to marry and I'm scared this will get in the way, does anyone know anything about criminal records? Everything else is clean and I can't even remember doing this, thanks x

hey there let me try and calm your nerves my friend

i recently had my K1 visa interview at the embassy and had whats called a minor cimt against my name THEFT of a orange traffic cone no intent to keep we were more wearing the thing not stealing it

anyways i had forgotten about it too as it was so minor and minor things do get forgotten i was in panic mode for months after getting my records back

anyway i went for my interview they asked it told them the honest truth and put all this on my ds forms what ever you do tell them about it dont try and hide it

he told me i come under the petty exception rule and said i was approved if this is the only thing you have ever done make sure you declare it and im positive you will be approved with no issue as it doesnt sound like a cimt mine was on paper worse than yours and i was fine JUST MAKE SURE ITS ON YOUR FORMS AND YOU DECLARE IT AND TELL THEM dont lie as you could be caught up

good luck PM me if you want to know more

Thankyou so much! Which embassy did you go too? I am going to the London one, how do I declare it? I am so worried. But you have made me feel much better! Thanks

i went to london too everyone is super friendly and not there to give you a roasting

what you did was very minor and what i mean by declaring it is this on your ds260 part 2 explain you have a minor crime

then when it comes to the interview they will ask and you will sail through

but you might need a subject access report to show exactly what you have done

im very confident you will be fine

keep in touch though

Thanks. Where is this form that I need to write on my other half had a lawyer do all out paper work and I'm not too familiar with the form I have it all though, leave tomorrow for London so in a panic and what's the last part? Do I fill this in at the embassy? Did you pass? Thanks for your help!

have a look at the ds 260 part 2 the one you take to the interview and there is a question that asks about arrest or criminal activity and just write down what happened else you could be done for trying to hide the incident <<<<< dont want to panic you have you got your subject access forms along with your acpo results to show exactly what your crime was

did your acpo say no live trace ????

just dont worry at the embassy its so easy when your there and rather relaxing

i have a feeling you will be fine

if not the most will happen is that you might get a 221g asking for subject access forms if you dont have them soon as you send them it you will be approved

im sure it will be fine

i know how you feel kid make sure you message me and let me know im here to help you

oh and if its not a CIMT and i dont belive it is your flying through something this minor wont exclude you

trus me im walking proof just be honest at the end of the day its the best policy
