Hi guys,
 
So in 2003 I was convicted for supply of a Class A controlled subsatnce - heroin. This is my only offence. I was given a 2 year custodial sentence and served 10 months of it. I was 22 years old (I am now 36, home owner, family, Partner who works for a College etc..). I am now working for the government as a Counsellor - specialising in drug, solvent and alcohol abuse. I have a HND in drug counselling and do a lot of work for charity. I have family in America and would love to visit them.
 
Realistically, what are my chances of being granted a visa?
 
Any info would be greatly received Smile
