Hello All,
I am new to the site, although I have browsed as a guest for a while,
and have decided I would like to ask you for some advice.
To give you all as much info to go on, I will try to be as honest
as possible.
I had a misspent youth and got in to drugs very heavily. At that time in
the mid 90's it was common practice (or so I believe) for GP's to
register patients as 'registered addicts' with the Home Office, when
prescribing certain medications.
Fast forward a few years and I am now no longer that person. I have been
clean and sober for 5 years, I'm married with a child and just trying to
move on in life and do the best I can.
I have travelled around and really love the states. Recently I have been
thinking about training/studying and getting a career. I have in fact
seen a place that I would really love to work at in the US. It is a
boarding school for 'troubled teens'.
From what I can understand, I would not qualify for a visa because I am
not a 'skilled worker'.
My question is this. Even if I trained and became qualified would my
past be held against me?
Thank you for reading this. Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.
J
