Visiting the USA
Is it true that even if you have a speeding fine against you, that you have to apply for a visa to visit the US?? If so, then visiting the states is off for good!!
Was thinking of going to the states for a wee break this wintertime coming... |

I very much doubt it. My mate has a US DUI and he goes on a 90 day tourist, and they must have that on record.

You have to apply for a Visa to get in the US whatever, its normally just a simple form you fill in at the destination airport.
As far as I can remember there is nowhere on the form that asks you about any criminal convictions. |

Don't tell them! I have a conviction for posession of a certain type of tobacco
 and it's never been mentioned or checked! As a merchant seaman did many trips to the USA and it was never a problem. Was advised to say nowt!!!
