What types of visa can I get for travel to the US with a criminal conviction?

I was convicted of Drink Driving (DR10) a few weeks ago (1st offence) and I was due to go on holiday to Peru and transit via Newark Airport and spend a few days in New York on the way back. I read on the US embassy website that I now needed a visa (if you have ever been convicted or arressted - even if the arrest didn't lead to a charge) and couldn't use the visa waiver form. So I cancelled the holiday. I am now planning to go in November and I am happy to apply for a visa at the US emabssy, but the police check required for the Embassy appointment takes 40 days and the embassy decision takes another 14. So will i have to go through this process every time I want to go to america on a non-immigrant visa? Or are there other visa types that once I have it, I can travel to the US for multiple entries over a lond period (maybe a few years)? I have read about a waiver of ineligibility - what does this allow and who is it for please? I am British and live in the UK.What types of visa can I get for travel to the US with a criminal conviction?Should have kept quiet and gone ! took my son in law to the states 18months ago and he had a durg related arrest ! no problems !

Your DWI conviction may not be that much of a problem, but having it has tossed you into the bureaucratic barrel. You probably should go through with the USA visa process to eliminate the issue for the future.



However, transit through Canada or somewhere in the Caribbean instead if you need to travel soon.



Good luck.
