- Intro (0:00 – 2.12)
- What is classed as an offence of moral turpitude? (2:13 – 6:41)
- When and why is moral turpitude a relevant issue for US travel? How do I know if the offence I committed is an offence involving moral turpitude/serious harm? (6:42-8:25)
- Is an arrest disclosable even if not convicted? (8:26 – 8:51)
- What if you mistakenly or deliberately answer the questions inaccurately when applying for an ESTA? (8:52-12:54)
- What about minor offences like tube fare evasion? Cautions? Do they have any impact? (12:55 – 14:37)
- So if I genuinely make a mistake and am discovered at the US Border, what happens? ESTA – means NO RIGHTS! (14:38 -18:52)
- Disclosure differences between ESTA and Visa (18:53-20:18)
- What is classed as a “standard drink driving conviction?” If someone has a conviction for a drink driving offence, what do you recommend they do to ensure they are doing things by the book? (20:19-22:38)
- What if it is a “standard drink driving offence” but it results in prison time? Different approaches depending on whether you apply for ESTA or a Visa. What is an aggravated DUI (22:39 -26:03)
- How would the US authorities discover inaccurate details on an ESTA and what would the consequences be? (26:05-28:29)
- At what point should people seek advice from a you/US attorney about the impact of an arrest/conviction? NOTE: Daniel is happy to hear from any of our clients by email on daniel@djpimmigration.com (28:30 – 30:28)
