Travelling from UK to US, Australia, Canada?
Notifications OFF
Hi,
I looked at the embassies which seem to state that any offences against a child = denied visa. I was wondering what some of your experiences were as having looked at the forum, I noted that some of you were able to travel from US to UK and vice versa?
My husband has been charged for posession but from my understanding all crimes of the sort are classified as 'offence against a minor.'
We had booked flights to Puerto Rico (US) territory and Melbourne this year and were about to get a visa but now I am freaking out.
Thanks loves x

If he is not convicted yet, then it will depend on the visa questions and what they ask. If the question is "do you have any convictions", then he can answer no and it should go through with no issues.
Solicitor said that US is out of the question; she said we could give it a go and try getting the visa but from her experience simply being arrested (nevermind charged or convicted) results in denial of the visa... she wasn't sure about Australia and Canada
I would love to hear some stories from those who were successful in travelling to these places either way idk I'm just clinging onto hope

I appreciate this but this offence has to do with violence; I was informed by solicitor and having looked online at couple of posts that sexual offenenders have a chance of getting their visa but anything pertaining to offences against children is always an automatic no, no. Thank you though x
If refusal for any offence was automatic, then there would not be discretion built into the system. I think there is an automatic refusal for murder in the US system, but not for anything else.
This particular success story highlights the importance of time. If an offence occured 5 years ago, then the chances of a person being refused are greater than if it occured 20 years ago.
