+x+x+xHi all , I am looking to immigrate to the US but I have a problem that I have currently . I have a few convictions in relation to the UK railway bye - laws which resulted in fines . I do know they are not recordable on the Police national computer . I was foolishly on trains without a ticket because I couldn ’ t afford one and wanted to get to interviews for jobs so I took my chances ultimately I got caught by a few inspectors and got convictions from magistrates courts , it happened last year . I was wondering how I would go about collect records of these , if these should be a problem and if I ’ d be inadmissible to the US ? Any advice would be helpful  The police certificate you would have to produced at the US embassy is a list of any cautions and convictions on your criminal record . You can get a free copy of your police record from ACRO, and that is the basis of the police certificate . If something is not on the Police National Computer , it won ' t be on your police certificate . You could always buy a police certificate from ACRO , but that would set you back £ 65 . That will definitely show you whether anything will be disclosed . If they are disclosed , that doesn ' t automatically mean you can ' t go to the US , but I expect they would look at how many convictions are involved , over what period of time , and what punishments you were given . I don ' t think the actual offences would worry them in your case . So to actually sum up with what you just said , if the offences aren ' t showing up on the certificate or the Subject Access Request then in theory , it wouldn ' t need to be disclosed ? I will apply and see if it ' s on there then if it ' s not then i guess i am all good . If they aren ' t on your police certificate , and especially if they aren ' t on your subject access request , they officially don ' t exist .
