Australia Visa Case Sharing

✈ ETA application rejected and required to declare criminal record:
The applicant committed theft 3x years ago. Due to the passage of time, even the applicant himself forgot to declare it. However, after applying for ETA, the application was rejected by the consulate, and the applicant was required to submit the criminal record. Later, with the assistance of our company, the applicant provided the documents required by the consulate, including the personal criminal background record (which the applicant needed to collect in person), and we drafted a personal criminal declaration letter on behalf of the applicant. Finally, the visa was successfully approved.Welcome to ask us to handle it on your behalf Australia Visa

✈ ETA application rejected and required to declare criminal records:
The applicant's stepdaughter is an Australia citizen. Although the applicant is already in his 50s, he failed to secure the visa even with relatives in Australia because he had more than 5 criminal records from his youth. With the assistance of our company, the applicant provided the documents required by the consulate, including a declaration letter from the stepdaughter, proof of the relationship between the stepdaughter and the applicant's wife, and we also drafted a personal statement letter on behalf of the applicant. The application was reviewed by VACCU, and after a 6-month-long assessment, the visa was finally successfully approved.Welcome to ask us to handle it on your behalf Australia Visa

Australia Visa Important Reminders

✈Criminal Background Records

• All applicants with a criminal record must personally obtain a copy of their personal criminal background record from the Wan Chai Police Headquarters before applying.

✈Severity of Offences

• The consulate will approve visas based on the individual circumstances of each applicant, such as the severity of the offences committed, whether there was a sentence and its duration, whether there were reoffences, and evidence of rehabilitation. For example, if the offence was committed 10 years ago, it is relatively more manageable. However, for individuals convicted of serious offences with a prison sentence of more than 12 months, more comprehensive materials need to be prepared when applying for a visa, such as proof of character improvement through public welfare participation, volunteer activities, or contributions to society.

✈Concealment

• It is not advisable to conceal any type of criminal record, as it will seriously affect the applicant's visa application record.

✈Not Sentenced to More Than 12 Months in Prison

• Most people mistakenly believe that as long as you have not been sentenced to more than 12 months in prison, you can meet the character requirements, but this is not true. That is only one element of the character requirements. Even a long history of criminal records (not resulting in imprisonment) or a history of poor general conduct may lead to the applicant being refused a visa for failing to meet the character requirements.

✈Level of Harm to Australia

• To protect the safety of Australia people: The primary consideration is the level of harm the applicant's criminal behaviour would pose to Australia. Presence of domestic violence: Australia has a very low tolerance for domestic violence, and considerations will include the severity and frequency of domestic violence, as well as whether reoffending occurred after being formally warned by relevant authorities. Ensuring the best interests of Australia minor children: The Australia government will protect children's interests as much as possible, considering the applicant's relationship with minor children, the age of the children, the potential harm of the criminal behaviour to the children, and whether they have a history of offences against children. Meeting the expectations of Australians: If the applicant's criminal circumstances are serious, the nature is bad, and there is a risk of endangering social security, Australians will expect the Australia government to refuse entry into Australia or cancel their existing visa.

Notes:

✈ If you are unable to provide the above-mentioned required items, we will assist you based on your statements.

✈ In general, it is advisable to wait for more than six months before reapplying after a visa rejection. However, depending on the urgency of individual applicants, there is a possibility of successfully obtaining a visa even with a reapplication in a short period.

✈  If you or your family members have had a visa application rejected due to providing false documents or false and misleading information, the consulate may not grant you a visa within three years (based on PIC 4020 as the criterion).
