I Guess it was because I put down that my employer was in New Jersey and also I was going on Business.

Hi Everyone

I just got a job as a field engineer working from Manchester UK to service europe and parts of Asia and Arabia.

My new company want me to attend an induction at New Jersey USA for 2 weeks.

I applied for the ESTA online but was rejected they said I have to attend an interview in Belfast for the B1

My company have said they will get me a H3 visa for training so I can enter USA.

Shall I carry on with my B1 interview next week or go along this H3 route? If my USA Embassy interview goes well then I get the B1 in 3 days.

Would I be eligible for the B1 as well as the J1,? which is best.?

Would my B1 be a risk in any way for what I intend to do?

I won't be working in USA at any time just going to meet the Management and an induction.

Thanks for any guidance.

Police Records

Available. Immigrant visa applicants who have resided in the United Kingdom for six months or more since the age of sixteen are required to obtain a statement from the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) Criminal Records Office. Applicants will find further guidance and application forms at the following website: http://www.acpo.police.uk/certificates.asp

Consular officers who received “No Live Trace” results for an applicant should contact London’s Fraud Prevention Manager for further information. The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 enables some criminal convictions to become 'spent', or ignored, after a set length of time from the date of conviction. After this period, with certain exceptions, an ex-offender is not normally obliged to mention their conviction when applying for a job or obtaining insurance, or when involved in criminal or civil proceedings. The “No Live Trace” indicates that information may be available relating to a ‘spent’ conviction. “No Trace” indicates a clean police record.

Applicants are legally entitled to gain access to the information about themselves under Section 7 of the British Data Protection Act, 1998.

Hi

My Wife is doing an I-130 for me in London so we can live in USA, they want a police clearance certificate, how do I get one, what information is on it, how many years do they go back for the information? do I just go to a police station and ask for one? will they know what I am talking about? is it the same as an enhanced CRB check? any advice appreciated. Thanks

I am getting married in January here in the Uk to a US citizen who is resident here in UK, she is filing the I-130 in London for me so we can go and Live in USA later in 2009.

On some of the forms it mentions that people who have a criminal record may not be admitted, when I was at age 15 yrs which was 33 years ago I was fined for criminal damage and commercial burglary, do I still have to declare that?

will the UK authorities tell the US authorities? how will it affect my application if I declare it or I don't declare it?

Next issue, last year I was a director of my wife to be's business in USA, she got into trouble owing people money, I went on holiday to USA and got dragged into it and finished up with 2 misdemeanours for fraud and having to pay the money back to her customers. this is known as a CMIT, she also received 2 misdemeanours, how will this affect my application, will they ask about it? what is the likely outcome?

We have been together for 8 years and have a 5 yr old son born in USA.

What is the likelyhood of not being granted a spouseal Visa and entry to USA?

Thanks
