Entry as tourist with criminal record from the U.S.

[fwh]

Hi,

Thanks for this forum, it seems very useful!

I would like to visit my mom who is a citizen.
I have a U.S. criminal record including mainly a misdemeanor that falls under crimes of moral turpitude, but no record since (7-8 years ago).

Since I do not qualify for the visa waiver, should I apply for a B-2? Any other options? Any help would be appreciated!

Sorry if this has been covered, I look and found only info for immigrant entry...

Thanks!

The best thing is that you remove the bad charge from your record otherwise you don't get any visa.Or may be there is a chance that you get visa on the behalf of a person that have citizenship in that Area.
