Hi there,
I have read numerous posts about similar questions about having a criminal and wanting to get a Visa into the States.
My situation is different and thus require specific advise and the websites I have visited don't help that much.
I was convicted and sentenced to 18 months suspended sentence back in April 2012. I have since travelled to Thailand in July 2012 without any issues.
I am planning on going to America for 5 weeks roughly going all over around July 2013, however this is the tricky part. I am planning on appealing my conviction as I did not commit the crime. (Robbery [found not guilty] & Stealing from a person [found guilty] - the second charge being a back up charge if the first one could not be proved so it was 1 incident).
My appeal is roughly around April 2013 and think that applying for a Visa now would be the best option as it allows me to go to the states with my friends. Im 23yr old male.
Thanks in advance.....
