Working Visa for the US with criminal record

Hi
I see this is an old post but I'll chip in anyway ;

Firstly obtain your records from your local police station.  Maybe being a minor means they were expunged. If so you can then look into whether to even declare it or not.

If you do then it should still be easy. The 601 waiver is for people who made mistakes in their younger years and then reformed. (Provide lots of character references)
The 601 is to help you get in not keep you out.

If entering US as a tourist don't admit to any convictions on the plane form or to airport immigration.

I hope it worked out well.

I have written posts about my good experience obtaining a marriage based green card despite having an adult criminal record.

And when did you get your green card?

I got my Green card in May 2013
