Getting into USA with a Criminal Record

[worried1]

Hi. I got in trouble with the police when i was younger (only the once!), i ended up being arrested and because i kicked the police officer i was charged with assault PC and criminal damage. Now 7 years later i am married with two yong boys and want to take them to disney world in Florida, im terrified i'll never be able to go.

I've read all the posts about whether you should risk declaring it and trying to get a visa or to just tick the no box, but my question is as i have since been married and have a new surname name, also this was 7 years ago and i was only fined in court, would this be flagged up ? should i just book it and tick no on the form when im there ? Also as i have to apply for an ESTA before hand surely this would come back with something if there was a problem ?

My second question is if i apply for a CRB check would this show up on here ? i am about to set up my own business which involves a CRB check being done. I notice on peoples websites they say 'CRB checked' but they don't specifiy that it came back clear, just that they were checked. Does anyone know anything about this ? thanks : )

What's happened to your third 'young boy' ????

perhaps the 3rd one was adopted?

The CRB thing, yes it would
If you see on 'people's web sites' CRB checked then it means they have a clean CRB check in place

The 3rd young boy turned into an Owl and started collecting for charity
