Is it possible for a UK man who has been convicted of rape and indecent asault of a female under the age of 16 to permanently reside in the USA. He has met an american woman who he wishes to live with and they wish to set up a business and get married.
To further elaborate, the individual was charged with above convictions over 10 yrs ago with no time served and the sentence being probation over 2 years concurrent. In addition, no charges were brought against the individual by the victim but occurred as a result of individual turning themself in to authorities voluntarily and was prosecuted by the CPS

This conviction seems to qualify as "aggravated felony", and therefore can make you inadmissible to the United States. I suggest, you consult an experienced American Immigration Attorney for a case-specific legal advice.
