Visiting the United States while on bail?

[coyo]

In fact they can see the charge, even if it was dismissed. I once crossed the border with a friend, who had once been charged with assault for repeatedly striking his landlord in the fist with his face (no, that wasn't a misprint), and they questioned him at the border for roughly an hour about it, before letting us through.The charges were dropped, long before going to court, but they were still in their records on the US side.

Your friend MAY be able to make that go away, if he hasn't already; http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cr-cj/nc-faq-eng.htm

In AMERICAN records? Not a chance in the world. Once information is out there, it's out there.

To add to this thread, never lie about your criminal past, even if you're 40 and got arrested at 19 for smoking a joint in a park. A friend has to apply any year he wants to go to the US and has to pay something like $1000 or more. EVERY YEAR it gets reset!! (And he rides a motorcycle, too)
