Hi all,
I’ve got a work conference in the US early Jan, however, I’ve realised I might have to play it safe & go for a B1/2 90 day VISA, due to a criminal record from over a decade ago. It’s incredibly vague on the Esta whether my crime would fall under ‘serious’ in their question, but I don’t want the embarrassment of getting turned away at the border.
1. My current Visa appointment is on 11th Dec - if I’m flying 3rd Jan from UK, is it basically impossible that my Visa would be approved & passport returned in that time?
2. Are there any tips & tricks on how to get earlier Visa interviews, other than consistently refreshing the website appointment calendar?
3. Would someone with a criminal record ever be approved on the day of Visa appointment, or does it always take longer to process? What’s the latest date I’d need to get an appointment in to realistically have a chance of getting on that 3rd Jan flight?
Thanks in advance to those who help!
