australian working holiday visa - Police caution
Hi there
My girlfriend received a police caution for possession of class B drugs 5 years ago on her application for a working holiday visa she has mentioned this and now has to explain the incident. Do you think she will have any problems getting a visa granted ? as this has been here only offense and was not convicted of anything Thanks for any help |

However, explain to them that that was 5 years ago, she is a different person now and would not do that again,she was never charged in a court of law for the offence and has learnt the error of your ways.

I can't see it being a show stopper at all. But good advice there from Mr Luvpants, I would recommend you explain the background in that manner, i.e. that she is very sorry and has learned from the mistake, rather than try to trivialise "it was just a caution" etc.
Is there anything she should say to aid her case ? They haven't requested a character reference yet do you think she should suggest that she could provide a reference if needs be ? Cheers again |

Re: australian working holiday visa - Police caution
I'm in a very similar situation except my caution is more recent.
How much hassle was it to get the visa? What did they ask you to provide etc? |
