Hi there,
My partner has a criminal conviction in the US of a misdemeanour crime (petty theft) he was sentenced to community service this was around 6 years ago. He wants to come visit me in Oz and in the future we are thinking to apply for a partner visa. What should he tick on the immigration form? if he ticks yes, should he have any documents with him- like a police check from home ora character reference from his boss?
I just want to make sure we start off on the right foot so its smoother in the future if we apply for a partner visa. He doesn't want to declare it on his form, but after reading a few posts it seems being honest up front is the best idea, as always in life.
Much thanks for any advice on this case,
Cheers
