APAULT Points: Join Date: Mar 11, 2006 Status: Offline	Sorry I did not reply in the forum before, tho I might have replied to a private message. Like the last post, I do not believe the Chinese do a check, so personally I wwoould say nothing. Other posts seem to suggest that stating minor offences does not propose a probelm....but there is always a risk. I think one person mentioned 3 offences in the poast...the Chinese might consider that too much. TheChinese way is to do nothing unless it is presented under the noses of the relevant authority, so persoanlly I wouldn't put it there!

Well, here is my answer. I was the above post 2 weeks ago on Nov 21st with the 3 felonies. I told the truth exactly like so "1994 Had a credit card making device. 2001/2004 Drug transfer/use." There was no more room to put on that single line. I coud not even put the word "trafficking" for the drugs because it used the line too much. I went through a visa service located in Houston called MDVisaPlus http://www.mdvisaplus.com/PassportChildren.html . I agreed with the girl I was seeing that it would be best to use a carrier instead of having my friend in Houston drop off the application. My 3 felonies we major felonies, the first one involved the secret service. The other two were for ecstasy sales of which I still am on probation. I sent a short letter to MdVisaPlus stating my remorse for my actions and how they hurt others and that my past does not represent the changed person I am today, including my current probation in Florida that requires me to adhere to strict guidlines. I also mentioned that my "non-violent past" had no bearing on me being a threat to the people or governement of china and I held no religious beliefs. I had the courier "express" the visa. It was the middle tier. They recieved the Visa on a Monday and had it dropped off Tues and it was approved in Wednesday. I absolutely couldn't believe it. On Nov 28 I recieved the visa and have submitted it to my probation officer who inspected it closely....awaiting for the judge to approve it. I honestly don't think it would have been approved if I had gone through anyone else, including my personal friend of 10 years living in Houston. Both the girl and I were surpised to see they gave me a Multi-Entry Visa valid until Nov 25, 2009 good for 60 day stays. Unreal! AND I TOLD THE TRUTH. If you have no violent crimes I suggest you go through this guy. He was extremely helpful in the process and explaining to me everything. I felt confident from the first call to him. His name is Min Michael Du. My probation office was surpirsed it was approved. I can have my mind clear as I enter Chinese Customs. So there is hope even for someone who has 3 major felonies (the 1994 was a Federal offence). Half of my battle is done, If I don't get approved by my judge, I will be going after I'm done with probation in June. I am so speechless how easy it was to just tell the truth.

I would like to goto China sometime in the next year or so (when i can save the money), and I would like to go with my boyfriend who went to jail this year for 3 and a ha;f months for grevious bodily harm with wounding( basically assault). It is his only conviction ever- will he be able to get a visa. I dont think he would lie on the application form just in case he got found out and then the whole trip would be a waste of money- plus we both dont want to have to worry on our holiday- so no matter how slim the chances are we would like to tell the truth. We are both from the UK if that helps. Please help

GUEST37589	I plan to lie and not admit my misdemeanor conviction. What are the chances I will get caught?

If you have been convicted of severe crimes they might reject you but otherwise you get approved. So to Guest 37589, it seems you can admit the offence or not mention it with little risk either way.

Don't lie about your misdemeanor. Look at my case, although non-violent, IT IS 3 FELONIES. A felony is much more serious than your charge. It's simply not worth the risk to me. Although I am not certain I think the service company helped my case. Unfortantely my probation officer denied my travel and I was given a bunch of bs by him. I had to pay my attorney $500 to try to resolve this. As I stated one of my felonies was a Federal offence, on the docket: United States vs. XXX XXXX. So I was long in the FBI database since. I suggest if you want the best assurance go through the company I mentioned and tell the truth. I can't speak if your record involves a violent crime.

GUEST37589	my crime was misdemeanor stalking. and I did talk to a lawyer based in China who advised me that it would be best to keep quiet and not mention it. especially if i want to work there one day.
