Are you sure about that USA thing. I've never heard it before (which of
course doesn't mean it isn't so!).
The UK is one of the nominated countries that participate in the 'Visa
Waiver Program' which means we can travel to the USA for a holiday (say)
without needing a visa. However:
'Travelers who have been arrested, even if the arrest did not result in
a criminal conviction, and those with criminal records, (the
Rehabilitation of Offenders Act does not apply to U.S. visa law), are
not eligible to travel visa free under the Visa Waiver Program. They are
required to apply for visas. If they attempt to travel without a visa,
they may be refused entry into the United States. Please follow this
link for further information.'
