visiting the US with criminal record?

I live in the US and have a friend in Norway who would like to come visit for a few weeks. He's afraid to apply for the US Visa because he was charged with possession of pot a few years ago. I've tried googling, but I still don't quite understand how this stuff works. Do you think he have trouble getting into the US for visitation ( Read more... )

When you fill out the green visa waiver form on the plane for US Immigration there is a checkbox for 'have you ever been arrested/convicted of something'. If the answer is yes they strongly suggest you apply for a holiday visa (B1?). He might be ok, and the US Embassy in Oslo should be able to give him an answer. I think drugs is one of the things that can get you some trouble, but don't quote me on that.
