Hey guys, I'm hoping someone could help shed some light on my situation. I posted this in another thread but figured its valid for a new topic
I have a holiday booked to the US in 2 months, I have mistakenly left the VISA far too late.
I've applied for the ESTA and answered 'No' to all questions, except now I feel I may have answered incorrectly in regards to the question "have you ever been in violation of any law regarding possessing, using or distributing illegal drugs."
I received a Section 10 for a minor drug offense in 2012 and all charges/convictions were dropped. I have been clean of any records since.
Being the paranoid person that I am, I decided to email the US CBP/ESTA officers about my question, detailing my conviction and also giving them my ESTA application no. ( silly me
)
They've responded asking for additional information including my name/dob/passport no/ESTA application no. aswell as further information about the charges and jurisdiction. Nothing more.
I've yet to respond to the email in fear of being flagged. Does anybody know if this email query alone could get me flagged at the gates??
I've already booked my trip so things aren't looking hopeful any help would be greatly appreciated.
