Travelling to the US for 3 days and a former drug charge???

Question

Me and my partner are irish and are planning a trip to florida to look at property to invest in. He has a drug conviction and was in prison for 8 months 3 years ago. He had never been in trouble before and hasnt been in any trouble since. I havent found any information on the internet about whether he wont be able to enter the states for these few days. were living in england and i cant ring the visa service number because it costs so much my phone wont allow me and there is no email address. Can anyone help???

Answer 1

With the world the way it is......make sure he can pass.......or you will have a short stay in the US..............

Answer 2

you have to fill in a visa waver form on the plane, and they did tell me that if you have convictions you have to tell them before you fly, as you may need a interview, long way to go to get turned away, i would phone some how if i wee you. good luck

Answer 3

You could try the foreign office website at www.fco.gov.uk. They have all sorts of travel info.

Just found the US website for Britain http://ukinusa.fco.gov.uk/en

Hope this helps

Answer 4

Unless you needed a visa to go into the country to start with it should be fine. They won't deny you access to the US.
