Hello

I was wondering if anyone could help me answer my question

I am due to marry and I intend to live with my wife in Arizona. She is a US citizen. My only worry is I have a single conviction for theft from 2012. I am happy to give a full explanation to the authorities but would this effect my application? I am 48 years old with no other convictions

Sorry I forgot to mention I am a British citizen

You will definitely be asked about it, but unless the theft was drug related, it should not bar you from getting a visa.

Theft could be considered a CIMT (Crimes involving moral turpitude).

Google:

9 FAM 40.21(a) N2.3-1 Crimes Committed Against Property

You should first get your court record, then decide your next step:

Police Certificates for the United Kingdom: If the ACPO states "No Trace" or "No Live Trace" or does not list in full your arrests/convictions/cautions, you will also be required to furnish copies of the court record(s) covering all charges of which you have been convicted, or which are presently pending against you, if relevant. Another way in which to provide this information is in the form of a Subject Access Statement.

Court and Prison Records: Persons who have been convicted of a crime must obtain a certified copy of each court record and any prison record, regardless of the fact that he or she may have subsequently benefited from an amnesty, pardon or other act of clemency.

Court records should include:

•Complete information regarding the circumstance surrounding the crime of which the applicant was convicted; and
•The disposition of the case, including sentence or other penalty or fine imposed

Court and Prison Records for the United Kingdom: Court Records, usually called a "Memorandum of Conviction" (MOC) in Great Britain and "Certificates of Conviction" in Northern Ireland, must be obtained from the clerk of the court(s) in which you were tried.
