Hi All,

I have some friends starting out on their application. They are applying under his trade 136 Air con Mec.

The wife was a police officer in South Africa and is worried that this will affect the application as they are perceived to be 'trigger happy' ( she is now a housewife and has no intention of returning to the forces).

Has anyone been an officer in a gun carrying country and is going through or has been through the immigration process or have any advice for us please.

Any info will be greatly received.

Many thanks,

Vic's xxxxx

Can't help re the gun carrying but the wife's occupation isn't really an issue. I'm a copper and I have never heard of the South Africans being trigger happy, I've heard that they are top class police in a very dangerous country. I really don't think that her former occupation will make a blind bit of difference

Aussie copper all carry guns... I doubt very much that it would be a problem.

No problem, there are a few ex South African Police in the Qld Service.

Cheers for the replies all.

I hope that will put her mind at rest. It was a tough job in a tough country. They are now looking forward to moving to a similar climate to home without all that went with it.

Have a good Bank Holiday,

Trigger happines should stand her in good stead, the Ozzie coppers love to draw and use their weapons.

Nice.....I think she would rather keep her weapon in her husbands trousers now......

Mandy&Cliff

I assume you forgot to add the smilies in this sentence.

Jimmy Cliff

It is a nice weapon by all accounts
