Hi Guys,

Im a Australian citizen and In Dec 2005 I have been charged for drink driving (while I was on green "P") reading was 0.055, I had to pay $515, had to participate Traffic Offenders Program (which is a once a week course, show you right and wrong, bla bla) for three months, and licence cancellation for FOUR months.

Q....

Im planning to travel to US this May for holiday, I know I have to apply for a VISA since I have a drink driving offence. How serious is this when it comes to US visa? will I be OK?

Has anyone got the same problem before as I have?

what precautions should I take before I apply for VISA?

Does Australia passes crminla records of each and every person who is travelling US to US authorities prior to their arrival?

please guys, shed some light on this...

I did call them, and its comes with a cost, $3.50 per minute, they weren't that much of a help. only thing they say is i need to apply for a visa, and thats about it....I asked them if drink driving offence is a big deal for this visa, and they cant say anything about it.

Apply for visa here https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov

also, I'm pretty sure DUI isn't going to stop you from being able to enter.

Also everything I have quickly read over this morning looks like you will have to say YES to the first question, asking if you have ever been charged for a crime or whatever, but it also states just answering yes doesn't mean you will be denied.

The worst that will happen is you will have to go and apply again in person at a US consulat. Keep in mind, that if they want to be pricks about it, this can take upward of 2 months .. they can do a full background check on you etc and take copies of your fingerprints. So, if you want to go any time soon you better apply ASAP

Just tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth; and they'll let you in from Australia.

Alternatives are the 3Cs...

i) hitching a plane ride from Colombia

ii) sailing into Michigan from Canada

iii) rafting it it from Cuba

GEnts,

Cant apply onliine as in their website clearly say that if you have a DUI, has to apply for a vis ($195 application fee as well,,goshhhhh) I called them and got confirmed too.

and the other thin i found is they send you to do a medical examination too DUI, what they do is give you some question whcih you normaly say "NO" to every thing, and then doctor talk to you about the incident, then blood pressure and heart rate, general check, NO blood tests or Urine test which is good.

Ya so I need to make an appointment with US cons, to apply for a visa.....

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
