I am 50 years old, a British citizen who spent some 18 years living in the USA. While serving in the Air Force in Texas I got mixed up with a stupid idea to make money quickly and ended up arrested for possession etc. I have almost zero recollection of events, it was over 30 years ago and long forgotten - until recently when I was taken to homeland security at the airport in Chicago where my family stopped on the way to a cruise vacation. It was there that I was shocked to have the whole situation come to life again. I was granted passage but told I would need a visa to enter from now on (keeping in mind that I have been to the USA many times prior to "homeland security" coming into force!!)
SO - now I need to go to London for an interview for a visa....ridiculous and extremely expensive. Added to that I need copies of all relevant documents relating to my arrest and whatever else went on behind the scenes - cos I have no clue! I was arrested, jailed for about three days then released to my Military superiors. Thats all I know. I'm being punished for a stupid mistake a long time ago - but I need those copies ASAP but don't know who can help????
