I would say go for it! Despite the doom mongers predictions I'd ask how many people who visit this site have put a little white lie on their visa waiver applications and been turned away on arrival? If its as possible as some people say then where are all the confirmations of this happening?
Come on, wake up and smell the coffee!!!!! HLS are not bothered and probably dont even have the resources to handle every persons application where they have been fined for a misdemenour. You made a minor mistake, paid the fine and kept a clean record for how many years? 13?
Its the real criminals who would wish to exploit the numerous opportunities they can find in the US that HLS is looking for.
Just dont buy any cut price tickets on ID or walk through Walmart without a T shirt on (especially if youre a female), now that is moral turpitude!
