Guest Lucky22 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Your right wakeboard pleading ignorance is a load of c*** really dont understand that comment! They obviously think your trying to hide something!! I've read up on the convictions ect.. It shoudnt be a problem especially with them being driving offences. People who's spent time In jail have been accepted. Honesty is the best policy, I've just amended my application. Should hopefully hear back soon.

If you are found to have lied on a visa application, that is considered a character issue in itself and enough reason to withdraw the visa. Also, it is twelve months prison sentence for any crime.

Guest Andy Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Lol laugh my head off if you get refused. What a horrible post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 trouble is: you might get away with not declaring it on a WHV, but what happens if you decide you want to stay in Australia? All the PR visas require police certificates up front - which do cover even juvenille offenses. Chances are it will show you failed to declare on the WHV application, then you will have difficulties.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalis Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 What a horrible post, comments like these imo are not welcome on this forum. It was a joke for god's sake as everyone here is being so pious and sanctimonious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AKA63029 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 At the end of the day 'Declaration' is the only way forward. I've bent some rules myself in the past, but DIAC AND other organisations will eventually find out about any criminal convictions (12 months) and that is when problems will arise IF you didn't declare them in the first instance when you had the opportunity to do so. Cheers Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitalis Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Look peeps it was a joke I was "slightly inebriated" last night when I said you should'nt declare, I apologise. You will be fine, I know a guy out there right now who is there with his gf who spent time in prison years ago. I also know another two lads with cautions for various offences. Think it only makes a difference if you apply for a perma visa, which is understandable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harpodom Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Those are hardly serious offences mate, I know a guy out there now who spent time in prison with his brother for GBH. Where is he now? Working alongside Tony Abbott? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalis Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Sounds good my man. I can't wait either think I'm heading to Darwin. That must have been one wild night in 2005 when you got caught. Yo I am sure some offences get wiped from your record after 7 years dude? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalis Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Where is he now? Working alongside Tony Abbott? Just wiki'ed him, guy sounds like a legend! During his university days, Abbott gained media attention for his political stance opposing the then dominant left-wing student leadership. On one occasion he was even beaten up by left-wing students at a university conference.[12] A student newspaper editor with political views opposed to those of Abbott took him to court for indecent assault after he touched her during a student debate. Abbott was cleared by the court.[13] Student newspapers called him a "right-wing thug and bully who used sexist and racist tactics to intimidate his opponents".[14] He was also a prominent student boxer. [15] Beyond his involvement in student politics, biographer Michael Duffy, wrote that during his student days, Abbott also "Once he saved a child who was swept out to sea. Another time, helped save children from a burning house next to a pub where he was drinking. On each occasion he disappeared before he could be properly thanked".[16] Although that is bordering on being like this guy... http://www.arrse.co.uk/wiki/Alan_McIlwraith There have been rumours that McIlwraith stopped an act of terrorism in the heart of London, but these rumours are denied by both the British government and Captain McIlwraith alike. He was awarded the CBE for services to the United Kingdom. He is also one of one only fourteen men whose faces are etched in to the wall at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Under his name are the words 'Courage and Honor'. Very few Photos of Capt McIlwraith are in circulation - one of which appears on this site. 'He is very camera shy but a splendid soldier and credit to the country' says General Michael Jackson Chief of the General Staff. [Although he probably didn't say that.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although that is bordering on being like this guy... http://www.arrse.co.uk/wiki/Alan_McIlwraith I didn't know Michael Jackson was a general in the British army. I have a 'friend' back in England, who would get on very well with tony Abbott. Far right political views, built like a brick $hit house, tatooed, ability to show extreme courage in dangerous situations. However, since he told me about the time he had an argument with a fella over a parking spot, and bundled said fella into the boot of his car to 'teach him a lesson', I never felt I could really trust him....
