Hey /adv/ i have a police caution for a small quantity of mephedrone (mcat/meow/bonzai) from when i was 20 years old. Since then i've obtained a degree and had steady work (now 25yrsold). I am a uk resident and I would really like to emigrate to the united states within the next year or two but this stupid mistake seems like it will bite me in the ass despite it not being a "real" conviction as i was given a "simple caution". Does anyone here have experience with this or know of anyone that does? Part of me feels like an employer would really be adverse to trying to sponsor me given the caution. Any advice would be appreciated.

if you got a caution then you weren't sentenced for a crime, shouldn't affect your migration
You shouldn't worry about it. Even if it does have an effect you shouldn't change your plans to emigrate because of it.
Yes, that's exactly what America needs. Another foreigner with a history of making stupid decisions.
Stay home, fog nigga, we're full.

Surely if im made ineligable my plans need to change. I dont think a sham marriage is a good idea and im unlikely to meet an american girl and fall in love organically where i live so a working visa seems like the only option.

Looked it up, you're fine.

Ask your local cops. It may be that cautions are erased after 5 years or something. Meanwhile, the immigration people usually ask only about arrests. They don't care, for example, about parking tickets.
