| GUEST24335 | NO. Say No. I just had my app rejected because I answered YES. I sent in a new application and checked NO. Got my Visa without incident. I guess honesty is not always the best policy ;) |

| GUEST65100 | Quote:Originally Posted by GUEST12211 I have a drink and driving offense, and have ticked No on my visa application form and got my chinese visa. I am worried now that the chinese will find out my criminal record when I arrive at Beijing airport and deport me. Any advice?<br />They are not going to know unless you tell them or commit a crime there and they check deeply into you and even get that data. I'm going ove there for my 4 time tomorrow and this is my 2nd time to go without telling them. I'm not worrried despite telling them Yes, I did xxx... the first 2 times. |

I have a detention for misdemeanor battery (not an arrest, no fingerprints, no conviction) The whole matter was dropped by the courts, yet it appears on my criminal background check. I'm planning ot check 'no' for the z visa. |

| GUEST65216 | I wish I had read these posts 2 weeks ago. I applied for a China visa through an agency that use San Francisco embassy . I had a marijuana conviction for growing. I checked yes and gave a remorse letter and was denied. When the agency I used called me and told me I was denied I asked her if there was anything else I could do. She said I could try submitting to a different embassy. I am thinking about checking no and sending it to Houston embassy. Do you think the Houston embassy will know I submitted to The San Francisco embassy and that I checked yes in the criminal record box? |

| GUEST68152 | I live in China on a work visa. I have a criminal record. this may sound crazy but my current chinese girlfriend and i have an idea (she knows about my record). If I got her pregnant and she had my baby in China, would the chinese government not then automatically let me stay in China so i can support it? (Chinese version of "anchor baby") as happens with Mexicans in America. |

| GUESTDAVE | Quote:Originally Posted by GUEST68152 It doesn't matter you have a criminal record only if you don't report it. They are not going to check it. Also, the baby won't help you to stay any longer in China. You are not married yet. |

| GUEST72187 | It would seem that from all I am reading - checking "no" on the criminal charge box is the way to go - and that saying "yes", regardless of explanations, etc., will flag you for further trouble. Someone, please validate this - I have a couple misdemeanors from over 15 years ago, and am not sleeping without a straight answer... thanks! |

| GUEST72187 | So - I will assume this was for a tourist visa? Seems most in this thread have plans for long term stay or business/teaching.... |
