Re: convicted but need to travel into the US

Try to apply for a tourist visa anyway and see what the consulate officer has to say. This crime has to do with using the mail to send lottery tickets or similar items, and that might be considered a crime of "moral turpitude", especially if it involves fraud. If that's the case, the consulate will probably find you inadmissible and deny you a visa.
