sellis82 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Hi Guys, ive got a tricky one. im Aussie and I want to return home at Christmas with my UK partner. We are not engaged as of yet but I fully intend to be by then. We have lived in London on different leases (both have been stuck on long term leases) but have joint credit cards and bank accounts plus plenty of people to vouch for us. what are our options? also to put a spanner into the works she has a police caution. From what I understand you should declare this (all though it's not a conviction) As I understand if she hasn't been convicted multiple times or done any jail time she should be fine? She has plenty of personal referees and is a member of a well known society. Surely lesson learnt when young won't effect our life together? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzy--bee Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 a police caution...... won't effect our life together? thanks No it won't. Even most convictions with punishments less than 12 months jail won't. But you are right to declare it. BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If n0t, Christmas is unlikely, takes around 10 minths at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellis82 Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Have you applied for the visa yet? If n0t, Christmas is unlikely, takes around 10 minths at present. I understand this, looking to probably enter under a working visa and work out our options once there (IE prove our relationship, be engaged by then), I have been offered an opportunity work wise in Sydney that is too good to refuse. The main worry is the police caution, we have applied and declared so I spose it's a waiting game. I would assume we would need to provide police reports and character references?

BB Thanks, it really was out of character and to think a silly mistake only worthy of a caution where even the police said they where sorry and had to do it could have such an impact on both our lives is scary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Thanks, it really was out of character and to think a silly mistake only worthy of a caution where even the police said they where sorry and had to do it could have such an impact on both our lives is scary If the caution was for molesting children or drugs or associating with terrorists there could be an issue, otherwise there should be no problem. Do not make the mistake of failing to declare on an incoming passenger card, or elsewhwere. The fact that something has been declared on an application does not relieve the requirement to declare it whenever you are presented with an opportunity.

stevjt179 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Definitely declare it, but by the sounds of it you have nothing to worry about! A minor caution/non-conviction is extremely unlikely to throw any spanners in the works. But they won't like it if they uncover it without your prior declaration. All the best!
