Hi, I’m not sure if anyone can help but I’m looking for some advice.

Back in 2018 I got arrested after a few stressful months I got let off without a caution or a charge. Fast forward to three years ago and I was travelling to Florida im Autistic so I had my wife fill out my esta and she asked me had I been arrested and or convicted to which I said no because I wasn’t convicted. I went to Florida and had no problem, I then travelled to Philadelphia and got stopped to which they asked me had I been arrested and I said yes but not charged or convicted and they ultimately cancelled my esta sent me home and told me I had to apply for a US Visa. Now I’ve already had one appointment at the US Embassy in the UK and got denied personally I went in blind and failed to fill out as much paperwork and information and got told not this time. Now I want to try again but I am very scared of being denied again, I want to show them that ultimately I have changed from the person I was, I have a huge support network now, a stable job, and that I wasn’t charged or convicted. So I’m wondering if anyone has any advice or suggestions on what to do next time? I really want to get my visa.

Thank you
