ACRO police document please help

Comments Moderated

Hi,

please help! I am based in England

I am in process of applying for b1/2 and I want to check my ACRO police certificate before I complete the questions around arrest etc. I don’t need to produce an ACRO police cert but I want to know if it shows up an arrest and NFA from many years ago for minor offence.

question is, ive gone through the ACRO police cert request questions and a question appears saying “have you ever been arrested, cautioned or charged“. If I answer yes will this automatically trigger a note to say “NO LIVE TRACE”. From what I’ve read an NFA should come back as “NO TRACE”.

secondly if I apply for acro police certificate just for peace of mind when I don’t actually need one for the visa type will this trigger any suspicions anywhere in regards to my b1/2 application?

thanks
