US Visa denial

[Monkey669]

Dear sir,

I was denied a non-immigration. USA to the US under section 212(a)(2)(A)(i)(I) for crime involving moral turpitude. What I don't understand is that this happened 10 years ago and was at the small end of the scale for which I was fined only. I have also found literature stating:
" exception - Maximum
Penalty for crime doesn't exceed one year and sentence was not more that 6 months"
I still therefore don't understand why? Is it worth reapplying?

I presume the US authorities don't make exceptions Mike. Any offence remains on your record for life in the UK and it's the same in the US. They only want visitors with clean records. It's the same with Australia, New Zealand etc. We should be the same quite frankly.

Have you tried asking the US immigration authorities for an explanation?
