Hi,
I received a number of convictions over 14yrs ago while in my teens, namely 3 thefts and a fraud (vehicle excise duty) and they were all dealt with via small fines. Since then I have cleaned up my act, got an engineering degree and am a highly skilled IT architect in great demand. I have been offered a job in Silicon Valley but am frightened to apply for a visa. I feel that due to my past I will be refused. If I was to apply for a visa and be refused, would there be other implications for me travelling to the USA on holiday for example.
