Will do. Can you specify why a tourist visa may raise suspicions? Should I mention in my tourist visa that we're also applying for a dependent visa through my 408 visa?

Thank you. Would be grateful for any replies from people who have dealt with similar situations.

Hi all! I am going to Australia on a temporary project at a university. My husband wants to come with me but he has a criminal conviction (no jail time, non violent or drug related) from 8 years ago. However he did not declare it on a visa 2 years ago... Now we will apply for a spousal visa as a dependent to my visa and a tourist visa in case this doesn't work out. We will state that he forgot to declare his conviction on a previous application because it was spent in the UK. Do you think it will work? I'm really panicked because we only just got married and would hate to be separated for 8 months. Any advice or experiences you can share? Thank you!
