Hi,
I was hoping for some advice. My boyfriend was arrested for drink driving in the UK - but was not convicted or prosecuted. I have booked a holiday to celebrate our daughter's second birthday in June for two weeks, but I have been told that he will need a visa by the US embassy. There is no record of anything on his police subject access statement and he has an interview with the US embassay tomorrow morning. Do you know how long it would take for a visa to be issued? And some people have suggested not attending the interview as there is no UK police record - as he was wrongfully arrested - so how would they know and why should he be punished for something he didn't do! Or do you think that booking the appointment would flag something up in the US immigration @ Orlando if he didn't attend the appointment!

Hi,

After the interviews it should usually be a few days to have the visa issued.
I wouldn't worry too much.
Take care.
