Hi,

 

I'm hoping to schedule my interview at the US Embassy soon. Whilst preparing for the interview I ordered a copy of my Police record certificate, unfortunately there was something on there which I was unaware of and I believe I may have to apply to an 'inadmissibility waiver'.

 

If my application is denied and I apply for the waiver (which I'm told could take upto 12 months to process/approve), will I still be able to visit the US?

 

As a sidenote, I currently have a B1/B2 Visa.

 

Thanks.

If found to be inadmissible, it means not authorized to enter the US at all.....until waived or the inadmissibility is resolved.

How could something be on your record of which you were not aware? Do you not recall being arrested and convicted?

It happened in a foreign country, the most minor 'crime' you could imagine - I entered the wrong section in a sports stadium, I was not arrested but I gave my details and I was told nothing was going to happen. In my abscene and without any knowledge it went to the local court and I was found guilty of one charge, which due to the EU was shared with ACRO and added to my UK record.

What were you actually convicted of? Trespass? Unlawful entry? It seems odd that an EU country would be able to convict with a formal arrest procedure and reading your rights. This contradicts article 5 of the European Convention  on Human Rights. Have you taken it to the ECHR?
