Police Caution Visa

Hi there, i have question and i know people have probably asked this a few times on here but i want to know for my own peace of mind

My boyfriend has just informed me that he got a caution from the police when he was 12 as him and his friends wewre caught

He%26#39;s 27 now and this was never on his criminal record he has been CRB checked in the past and nothing has come up

Was just wondering if this would cause a problem for us getting into the usa on a visa waiver form?

Any help is hugely appreciated to stop me panicking lol

Police Caution Visa

hi ruby, it wont affect him getting a visa,as he wouldnt be considered as a potential threat to the us security, i recieved a caution as a child probably in similar curcumstances and ive been 27 times !! so dont worry it will be fine...

your fine its only a caution. not a conviction.

There was a post on this a few days back. He was a junvenile, so it won%26#39;t count, particularly as he was just cautioned and it wasn%26#39;t drugs, etc.

Its only if you were arrested that it could cause problems - and even then thats if they found out.

A caution as 12 year old is not going to show up anywhere! I doubt it was even written down at the time.

Thanks guys you%26#39;s are all stars!

Think i might make him feel guilty about it for a little but longer though ha!

; )

Hi Ruby,

just to let you know a caution will only stay on the police record for 5 years and as it is not a criminal conviction no other law enforcement agencies will know about it anyway.

Hope this helps
