Immigration lawyers in London are turning away clients with any criminal history as they know the US embassy in London will reject these visas no matter what positions these visa seekers hold or their purpose of visit to the US. Financial Times reported that the US embassy in London is denying top-level business executives from travelling to the US. And they are citing minor criminal offences that might have involved law enforcement, but no conviction. Some cases that the embassy is citing date back as far as the 1970s, for which the visa seeker might have got a police warning.
Lawyers claim that these offences include past cannabis use, bar fights and driving under the influence but they were allowed entry to the Us previously despite those apparent crime records existing for a long time now.
