∙ 12y agoIt depends on the severity of the crime.
Traffic violations and civil infractions (such as disorderly conduct) usually do not affect admissibility.
A misdemeanor conviction will usually not prevent travel to the United States by itself, although persons with ANY criminal record (apart from traffic violations and civil infractions) are ineligible to enter under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) and must obtain a B1/B2 tourist visa from a US Embassy or Consul prior to travel.
Persons who have been convicted of a felony, convicted of a misdemeanor(s) and sentenced to an aggregate total of 12 months in prison (whether or not the time was actually served) or have been convicted of certain drug offences, prostitution and other crimes of moral turpitude are inadmissible and require a waiver. Waivers are not typically given out for tourism - usually compelling and compassionate circumstances are required.
