Hi,
I have been to the US fairly often over the past few years for holidays. I have previously been arrested for possession (about 7 years ago now). Each time I have gone to the US i have applied for a visa at the embassy and they have all been approved. This process has always taken a number of months to complete.
However, now I will be going to the USA for about 1 week on a business trip. I don't have a valid visa at the moment. Do I need to go through the same visa application process If I'm on a business trip? The trip will be happening in the next few weeks so I don't have time to go through the whole normal process and that normally takes a few months.
What can I do?
