When a foreigner submits an application for a US visa, a crucial factor negatively evaluated by the USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) is the existence of a criminal record, even if, pursuant to the legislation of the Country in which the sentence was issued and enforced, the applicant was formally rehabilitated.
The existence of a criminal record, indeed, especially if the sentence was issued with regard to certain types of crimes, can be considered to reject, for instance, the application for a visa. Irrelevant is the circumstance that the applicant might have been fully and formally rehabilitated (for instance, in case of an Italian citizen, irrelevant is the fact that the general certificate currently issued by the criminal records registry could show a lack of any criminal record) and that the application could be based on humanitarian grounds.
