Advice regarding criminal record for B1 visa

[qutuz658 0]

Hi there, i was refused ESTA authorization and have since applied for a B1 tourist visa to visit the US later this year. i have an appointment in the US London embassy in September.

I have never been to the USA, I am british citizen from birth, i have a criminal record the offence being "fraud by misrepresentation" in 2018, i basically over spent on my own credit card. i received and completed a 150hr community sentence. 

 

i have applied for a police ACRO certificate and also completed the VCU1 form.

 

my question is am i likely to be accepted for the visa and does my crime fall within the CIMT ? if so would i also need to request a waiver and how does that work?

 

anything other information and or documentation i may have missed please let me know, thanks.

The consular officer interviewing you will inform you if it is a problem or not, and if it is a problem whether a waiver is available.

so i have my appointment for a tourist visa at the US London embassy on the 20th October, it is stated that the following documents must be presented: 

 

General Required Documents - For All Visa Types
The following documents are required for all visa types:
1. Current Passport valid for travel to the United States. The passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the period of
stay in the United States (unless exempt by country-specific agreements (https://www.cbp.gov/document/bulletins/six-month-club-update).)
2. Passport containing the most recently issued U.S. visa (if applicable).
3. Nonimmigrant Visa Application, Form DS-160 confirmation page.
4. Confirmation and Instructions page printed from this website
5. One 5 x 5 cm (2 x 2 inches) color photo taken within the last 6 months. Further details regarding Department of State photo
guidelines can be found at: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/photos.html
(https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/photos.html).
6. Accompanying family members, unless entering the United States for another purpose, should present a marriage certificate
(spouse) and/or birth certificate (for unmarried children under 21), as applicable.
7. Applicants who have a medical ineligibility or who have been denied entry, deported or overstayed must provide additional

PLEASE NOTE:
If you have EVER been arrested, convicted, or cautioned you are required to furnish a police certificate from the
ACPO Criminal Records Office. The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act does NOT apply to U.S. visa law and a spent
conviction must be declared. Failure to present a police certificate at the time of your interview will delay the
processing of your application. Click on this link for the complete list of additional required documents to bring to the
interview. (https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/ineligibilities-and-waivers-2/arrest-caution-conviction/)
If you are attending an appointment in person, you must bring original documents. If you are eligible to send your documents via
courier, you must send your current valid passport and the prior passport containing the most recently issued U.S visa (if
applicable), as well as the DS-160 confirmation page and copies of any other supporting documents. Please see the section below
for a list of supporting documents required for each visa type.
