Hi I have always wanted to go to America and I have a family holiday booked in may 2026, I have one previous conviction for stalking in June 2020, because of this when I done my esta visa form recently I put no on the do you have any criminal convictions question. My ESTA visa got approved in about 1 hour and it looks all good.
However my brother is concerned that they will still find out about my record and deny me entry is there still a good chance for them to find out about my record by looking on the internet about me for example or am I very likely to get through if I act normal at the immigration desk when flying. Any advice would be appreciated as I also know they take fingerprints at the immigration desk.

Hey, so I got arrested in 2018 but not convicted, I filled out an esta when I traveled to America in February 2023 I filled out my esta and said no to an arrest/conviction I didn’t get stopped but when I went to Philadelphia they flagged me and took me to a different part of the passport control and they asked me about my arrest and I told them. So it really depends, obviously you got a conviction but I didn’t so it depends on what they say at the time
