Oh believe me I am not encouraging any behavior right now for him. I am more curious if he could show up in China with a visa and then be denied entry or worse? I will probably have to get someone else to take over his project, but I also think he is going to fill out the visa with the no answer and take his chances.

On a more personal note, it happened when he was 19, he did not get a lawyer, and made a stupid mistake. Now I am worried he is going to make a worse mistake.

What happens if he answers yes to the criminal history? I assume it will be an outright rejection correct?
