DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CHARGE AND A CONVICTION?

It is an image that talks about a person charged with a crime and may not need a us entry waiver

CHARGED.   

A Charge is a formal accusation that you have broken the law. The law enforcement authority has grounds to believe that a person has committed a crime, and the person
 could get arrested(Custodial or Non-Custodial). One thing that people mistakenly believe is that a charge and conviction are the same things. This is completely wrong and they are vastly different things.


YOU MAY NEED A US ENTRY WAIVER.

CONVICTED

Conviction is the process of rendering a guilty verdict against a person who has been formally charged and tried in a court of law. 

When the court finds no truth in charges, the person is acquitted with the verdict being not guilty or with a verdict that essentially says the charge was not proven. 

Conviction is the verdict of the court deciding that the person is guilty of the offence and is subjected to some sort of punishment.


Now you may need a us entry waiver.  We may be able to do a law enforcement check if you have any of these issues.
