I have an Australian "Section 10 – No Conviction Recorded", can I travel to the US on an ESTA?

This depends on what the arrest was for.

It's important to remember that even with a “No Conviction Recorded” finding, this is still considered a conviction for US immigration purposes. This must be disclosed on any visa application as well as in some instances on the ESTA registration.

Generally, a drug possession charge or admission will make you inadmissible to the US, and you may not use the visa waiver program for travel.

If I am inadmissible to the US, does this mean I will never be able to visit the US?

Not necessarily. Depending on what your conviction is for, there may be waivers of inadmissibility available that you can apply for.

If I have "No Conviction Recorded", how can US immigration know that I had an arrest?

Trust us, the US government has extensive networks of security checks.

If you lie on a visa form or an ESTA application, this can have a permanent effect on your travel to the US.

If you have ever been arrested, it's best to get the advice from one of our experienced US attorneys.

This area of US immigration law is very complex and how you present your past criminal records may have a serious impact on your future travel to the US.

If you've got questions or would like to talk to a Migration Specialist, get in touch and let's see if we can help you with Moving Overseas With A Criminal Record.
