That's right, but if there are non disclosable convictions, your police certificate will simply state "no disclosable court outcomes recorded", which means that something occured but it is not officially recorded as a criminal record (This is if "visa" is ticked on your police certificate). If...

Maybe it would show up in N.S.W, but I know that on police certificates in certain states it will show up as "no disclosable court outcomes" if the magistrate does not give you a criminal record and that will happen straight away, not after a so called "spent conviction". Your information is...

But what happens if you are convicted of a crime, don't get a criminal record and your police certificate says "no disclosable court outcomes"? This is still classed as a criminal record as far as the U.S.A is concerned and you would have to apply for a visa.

Re: Visa Waiver Programme - Newbie Thanks for letting me know. So I guess they do just tick "visa" no matter what country you are flying to. I could have sworn they tick "personal" for travel to the U.S.A as per another persons post on these forums, but by the sounds of things they don't even...

Re: Visa Waiver Programme - Newbie Really happy for you that you got your visa approved and yes, unfortunately you will have to go through the same process again :( I just have a question for you - when you got your fingerprint check, did they choose "personal" or "visa"?, as I'm a little...

That's 100% correct zetski! Out of curiousity, is the USA the only country that requires you to get a personal record? I'm pretty sure it is. Do you know if Canada requires just a visa check or do they also require a personal record? From my experience, when you call up to book a fingerprint...

Re: Visa Waiver Programme - Newbie Just because you do not receive a criminal record recorded does not mean you have not been convicted. If you go to court for a crime and plead guilty, you are automatically convicted of the crime and then it is up to the magistrate to decide whether or not...

Re: Visa Waiver Programme - Newbie I personally believe that all countries that agreed to participate in the VWP allow the US to gain access to prior convictions etc. I think it's very easy for the US or any country to find out about prior convictions. It's not that hard for the Aust police to...

I'm 99.9% sure you will not have any issues at all. Seeing as though it was so long ago. They mainly look at the severity of the offence/s and the length of time that has passed.

I'm sure he will find a way to get in. All the sporting celebs, TV celebs, actually, ANY celeb finds a way to get in. I mean, how did Matthew Newton manage to get into L.A?? Didn't he have a criminal record only a few years ago for assault?? What about Wayne Carey - he would have a criminal...

Re: Visa Waiver Programme - Newbie The 5 year ban did apply to you, but you have already past the ban by an extra 5 years so I am 99% sure that you will fine! From other people's experiences on here, they don't have any issues once the ban expires, unless it's for something serious like murder...

They can't ban you just be sending them a query. You have to go through the right channels for them to say "yay" or "nay". But pretty sure they will say "yay" in your case, being only 17.

Simple answer- just email the US embassy, they will let you know. I think that as you were a minor you shouldn't have any problems, but I would definitely still apply for a visa. Better to be safe than sorry as you don't want to get there and get turned away. However, assault would 100% be...

Re: Visa Waiver Programme - Newbie Honestly, there is only so much you can get relating to a court issue so many years ago. Just take everything you can physically get to the interview and you honestly should be fine, but yes, a stat. dec is very easy to get and you could just state on it that...

Re: Visa Waiver Programme - Newbie Just take in everything that you have. That sounds like enough. As long as you have info about the court case that should be fine. If they do require anything else you don't have to go back to see them, you just have to mail in any further requirements, but...

Re: Visa Waiver Programme - Newbie Yeah, that sounds fine then. Good luck!

Re: Visa Waiver Programme - Newbie Doubt it cause if he did then he would have had to wait the "5 years" like every other "normal" person has to wait.

Re: Visa Waiver Programme - Newbie 100% yes - you will need to take all court documents. When you got your fingerprint check, did they ask you if it was for a US Visa? I am pretty sure with US Visas, they tick "personal" and not "visa" on the form as the US embassy want to know each and every...

Kelley73 - You took the words right out of my mouth and put them perfectly on this website. I agree with you whole heartedly. I too would love to complain in writing if he does get in but let's be honest, no1 would listen or take notice. The rules of embassies and most organisations are that "We...

I thought there was only one form that you have to fill out electronically. I personally think his just trying to make himself sound innocent and as though he didn't know what he was doing. Can't stand him!!!!
