Oggy1996 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Hi , I have applied for a working holiday in Australia about 4 weeks ago. When I was 17 I was convicted of drink driving , with no licence and no insurance , stupid mistake I know . That was 5 years ago as I'm now 22. I have sent a police check in but still no news on my visa . Should I be worried about the visa being declined ? Thanks . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon the Hat Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Did you declare it? They seem to take not telling them more seriously than old convictions from everything I have read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I declared it in the application , just didn't send the police check out originally as I didn't know I had to do that . They asked for the police check a few weeks later but since then I've heard nothing . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 It will take some time as even straight forward cases are now taking a month. As long as the sentence was not custodial of 12 months (including suspended sentences) you should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
