I would look into it, if you are asked and lie then it could stop you ever being allowed into the country.

see this link I found on a quick search: http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Travel/Question285934.html

No point! Come on, a police caution for possession of a pellet gun, 10 years ago?:rotfl:

It's not going to show up anywhere, it's not a risk to anyone, and it's not worth declaring to US officials and preventing enjoyment of the US visa waiver programme.

He got a few hours community service so i dont know how serious that is? he didnt use it or anything. He was just stupid and never been in trouble since

He said that it was for making a firearm without the queens consent or something along them lines

Steph - the US would never know about this. They have no access to UK criminal records, even if your OH still had one (and he doesn't). Seriously, forget it ever happened. Enjoy your hol.

Hi
I am a travel agent and get asked this kind of question all the time. I would contact the US Embassy in London, the US regulations are very strict an it would be better to check before, rather than booking flights etc and then being refused entry

Hope this helps!

Thankyou!

I guess we just let anyone into our country

Once obtained, this permission is good for two years or whenever your passport runs out, whichever is sooner.

If you do multiple trips within the two year period you will need to update the authorisation online for each visit if you are going to be staying at a different hotel or address from your previous visit.

Also, be aware that while you can use the website right now to register, you still need to complete and present the green visa waiver form at US immigration.

What he did was probably legal in the US where gun regulations are usually very much less strict than here - don't worry about it.
