Hi there and thanks for reading.

About 3 years back I got jailed for running a game in China for about 6 months.  I was never deported.  During trial judge mention he would not ask for my deportation due to good behavior and repentance.

I was told by the cops there I was not deported because I was married to a Chinese citizen and usually they forgive you if you have family there.

However, long story short, I got divorced recently.

All of these years I have been getting my L VISA (relative visa is also named L) without even having left China.

However, now that I am divorced, I went back to my home country to get it.  My last L visa has still not expired, but will expire in April.

I would like to know the following:

Should i tik YES for criminal record or should I tik NO?  I been repeatedly told that I should tik NO because they are unlikely to check on that.  I know if you have commited a crime abroad, they have no way to check it, but in my case it happened in China.

Things to consider:  I have never been deported - I have been getting my Visas for the past 3 years normally -  My crime was for gambling, which is one of the minor crime cases in China.

What is your take?  I will be applying for the VISA very soon and would like your opinion.

BTW, the reason I am applying is because I got a job back home that will send me to China on a regular basis.  This will bring my life back to normalcy.

Any good insight and opinion is welcome.

Many thanks.[/quote]
