457 Sponsorship visa....help me!

[Guest wheeler2k]

Hi,

 

I'm really hoping someone can put my mind to rest....I've been offered a job in Sydney and my future empoyer is happy to sponsor me etc, I'm due to speak to an immigration advisor/agent next week about processing my visa.

 

Back when I was at uni (about 8 years ago) I was fined and did community service for GBH after I come home one night to find my then girlfriend in bed with someone. I saw red and the poor bloke didn't come off too well. He didn't even know I existed!

 

Anyway, has anyone come across something like this before and will it exclude me from a visa? I've got the job I want in the city I want to live in and I'm generally pretty excited but worried this could ruin it all.

 

Thanks

Hi it won't prevent you getting a visa but my hubby had a caution 7 years ago and company who was sponsoring him on a 457 visa said they won't proceed because of this boo. Don't think this happens a lot?? But best to check before you go too far. Hope everything works out well for you

Declare it on your application for a visa - dont try and hide it. The fact that it was a while ago and you didnt do jail time for it is probably positive for you but no one can tell you one way or the other, you just have to wait for their decision really.

I too unfortunately had a misspent youth and am currently seeking employer sponsorship on a 457 visa. I have every intention of declaring it on the visa application but I was thinking that I probably would try not to inform my new employer of this.

 

Is this possible or would the employer know about my past as they are sponsoring me?

 

Thanks in advance as this is quite worrying me :unsure:

Well the migration agent we used was employed by the company that my husband was going to work for so they were obligated to tell them. It isn't something we have had a problem with in the UK and it may not be a problem for you. It may just be that the company my husband was to be employed with were extra fussy on these things. Hope everything works out for you.

I've read a few threads on this now and it seems like they do judge your overall character and as long as you haven't been to jail it's not too much of a problem if you can get character references and are completely honest.
