Hi all please can anyone help me.
I have been wanting to relocate to Perth Australia and live and work on a skilled visa as a general plumber for some years now, and finaly my girlfriend has now said let's go and start fresh.
But I have a few things in my past that is worrieing me.
So if anyone is going through there application or been granted a skilled visa recently with similar problems please any advise would be great
My problems are
1. I have been bankrupt about 6years ago.
2, I have been a banned driver about 16years ago but have been done for no insurance about 7 years ago as well as speeding a couple of times but only just over the speed limit.
3. I have been prosecuted for been involved in a burglary. I didn't break into anyone's home but I was caught not that far away from the seen of the crime and I was looking at something that had just been taken. The person who just committed the break in ran off leavinge me holding a remote control for a VCR and in blink of an eye I was jumped on by the police. I went to crown court and pleeded my case but the person who commuted the crime was caught that same night and he was bailed to a bail hostal but never went and went on the run and he was caught some time after that and when to jail so I heard. Anyway I went to crown court he didn't turn up I got community service I think about 250hours but cant remember now, and a 2years probation service for the crime which i cant remeber what they called it but i think it was called handling stollen equipment. This all happened to me about 18 years ago.
I have since then not been in trouble except my driving fines for speeding.
I can't stop thinking about emigrating to aus and I am worried that I am building hopes up for nothing.
Please can some one tell me do I stand a chance or none at all
