A Waiver of Criminal Inadmissibility permits a foreign traveler to visit the United States based on proof of rehabilitation. This involves an assessment of the risk of harm to United States, the seriousness of the prior criminal conviction(s) and the reason for wanting to visit the United States. It is a lengthy and complex application where an Immigration lawyer may provide great assistance.
Fortunately, not all criminal convictions make a person inadmissible. A limited number of petty offences will not result in criminal inadmissibility.
Frequently, people who obtained a Canadian Pardon(now called Record Suspension) believe that they can travel to the United States with impunity. This is not so. The United States does not recognize a Canadian pardon, as anything other than evidence of rehabilitation. The United States also treats a Conditional Discharge as a conviction.
Given the current situation at the Canada /United States border, no matter how long ago the conviction or how many past uneventful visits into the United States, any person could be potentially inadmissible.
Ook nog, maar weer zonder expliciete vermelding van hoe lang je moet wachten om een pardon te kunnen krijgen: https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail ... conviction
Canadezen kunnen dus een waiver aanvragen om ondanks hun veroordeling toch in de US toegelaten te worden. Het kost iets van een $600 ongeacht positieve of negatieve uitkomst. Je doet dit via Form I-192, Application for Advance Permission to Enter as Nonimmigrant [Pursuant to Section 212(d)(3) of the INA]. (hier te vinden: http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/file ... /i-192.pdf maar ik kan het momenteel niet geopend krijgen)
Zou dat ook werken voor Nederlanders/Belgen?
