Thank you! That makes sense, I really appreciate the information :-) Thank you, this is really helpful to know!

Is there a way to delete my original post so that I can repost it? Unfortunately I am not getting any responses with it being posted in this forum. Thank you.

Thank you! Yes, I have disclosed it. I am aware I need to disclose it for immigration purposes, I am just not sure what happens when I get to the other side of the pond when I am looking for work. I know Americans can have their juvenile records 'sealed' - but I don't know how that works for immigrants. I also don't know if cautions and reprimands are even recognised in the US as they have a different disposal system. I'm not really sure where to find information, but hopefully someone here may have had experience and can help :-)

Hi everyone, I'm not really sure where to post this question. I hope this forum is okay! My wife and I are currently waiting for all our visa paperwork to be approved and I had some questions about criminal history disclosure. I am from the UK and will be relocating to the US. When I was under 16, I received a caution and a reprimand, both for shoplifting. In the UK I do not have to disclose this information to employers as they're considered "spent" here and both offences were over 10 years ago. When I apply for jobs in the UK the offences don't appear on any of my background checks. However, I was wondering what will happen when I move to the States. Will these cautions show on my background checks whilst applying for jobs, and will I need to disclose them? I would be greatful to hear from anyone with knowledge or with experience of this. I wouldn't want to get in trouble or have a job offer withdrawn because I didn't disclose, for them to then appear on background checks. Thank you :-) Quote
