Question

My friend has a criminal conviction will he be allowed in to the USA?

Answer 1

An acquaintance  got refused.

Answer 2

No one with a criminal record is allowed to immigrate into the US.  They are not eligible for non-immigration classes of visas such as tourists, student visas, work visas, cultural exchange visitors, etc. either.

Answer 3

Tell him to hook up with a coyote in Mexico to bring him across, then he won't have to worry about it.

Answer 4

Absolutely not

Answer 5

God, I hope not.

Answer 6

It depends on the type of crime. Also, it depends on the consulars decision at the US Embassy once your friend apply for the visa. Good luck!

Answer 7

Depends what the conviction is for, why dont you ask the American embassy this question. Am sure they could help you.

Answer 8

Yes, but not under the visa waiver program. I believe he has to attend an appointment at the US Embassy in order to get a visa.

Answer 9

He will burn in h**l.

Answer 10

Let him sneak in illegally through Mexico. After he is in the US for 3-4 days, either Barack Obama or Juan McCain will give him amnesty under the next version of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill.

Answer 11

depends what for, but for minor stuff, as a tourist or on business, yes. The only checks they do are terrorism links or internal warrants etc.

To immigrate, maybe not but again depends what for.
