criminal conviction

Post by jaywel » Sun Jun 29, 2008 4:40 pm

My partner has a criminal conviction for under 1 ounce of weed (personal use) which he did 40 hours community service - in Jamaica. Will he get refused entry. anyone who has had a similar problem get in touch.
I have just completed evidence folder and this is the last hurdle to get over. thanks

Just make sure you declare it - failure to do so will have a bigger impact than not.

As for 40 hours community service - that is harsh by UK std's so no need to worry about comparitive UK sentance.
