CRB Checks

not hiding anything, job id like to apply for states a standard crb will be carried out...i have a few little niggles on file from teen yrs...main one being posession of a class A, amongst others......and wondered if this would be disclosed as it was a caution.

I've not had any experience with the CRB, but I'd imagine if you're being sensible about what job you're after and not applying for boy scout leader or something with previous for kiddy fiddling then you should be OK

I mean, so what if 10 years ago you had a scuffle with a bouncer or whatever, if you present yourself well and are honest about mistakes you've made then I'd give you more credit than someone who tried to hide their past

Just my 2p...

ah, i think you might find that the US are pretty against granting any VISAs for folks with previous for higher class drugs

Most employers understand that most of us had "issues" during teen years.
If your qualified for the job, honest with them and are the best candidate I cant see too much of a problem.

The States won't allow you in with ANY criminal conviction.

My neighbour has just returned from his 2 weeks in the states...24 hours after he left!!

Might have something to do with the "skinz" tattoo on his hands then....

easy way to get around that is just dont say u have any convictions. they dont check.

not off to the the US anytime soon, 2 weeks 15yrs ago in florida was enough for me!!

just worried about the posession thing...but it was 9/10 yrs ago...so maybe ill have a chat with them first and explain it, and how i regret it etc...see how we go! thanks for input all

actually you can, it's just a little harder

having a conviction means you're inelligable for the visa waiver program, and you'll have to apply to get a visa to travel to or through the US

however, if you have a conviction for a drug related offence i wouldn't hold out much hope of obtaining a visa of any kind


edit: DappaD - my advice would be to contact the British embassy or the American embassy and ask them, as as far as i can see there's not much solid evidence on the net

Dappa-go into your local copshop and explain the situation to them and see if they will do a check for you-that way you'll see what comes up if anything
