Another 2nd year 417 question!!!

[castle]

Hi,

I bet you're sick to death of answering questions for worried visa applicants, however I'd much appreciate everyones advice!

I have just this minute applied for my 2nd Working holiday visa. I am still on my 1st 417 and have just finished my 88days specified work as a raspberry picker I have a few days left, but was so excited about completing my 88days I wanted to get straight onto it!!!

Anyway... I have a criminal record (affray in April 2004 for which i recieved a 6month sentance in a young offenders institute). I submitted all the relevant info such as a police check, personal account of events, how I was sorry, and i have learnt from the experience, and heaps of references etc when applying for my 1st 417 visa. I didn't realise that when applying online for the 2nd visa that it would ask me again, so obviously when the question was asked I was truthful and answered the question with a yes, I do have a record, and how long i was sentenced for etc... but I didn't supply any references and police checks as before... I thought initially that they should still have all the info from my previous application, but then remembered they sent it back to me after i submitted the form. Do you think this will be a problem???

I have also been told I must have a chest x-ray, and a medical. Do you know why they'd do this now, and not on my 1st visa?

And last question! Do you know how long the process will take? Like I say i only have 7week! I'm going to book my medical in the morning to get the balls rolling.


Anyway, any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Mike

I've no idea about the answer to your question, but someone will i'm sure. The great thing about this site is that people really don't mind answering questions and will point you in the right direction if they can
