Questions:

My husband and I are south africa and wanting to immigrate to canada. In 1998 I was 16 and charged for petty theft. Does this ruin my chance of getting into Canada or immigrating at all?
will having a diagnosis of genital warts affect my chances of getting my PR?
Hello, 19 years ago as a stupid young man I received a one year conditional discharge for attempted theft. I have not even thought about reoffending since then, have worked constantly and now run my own business. Would I be OK to emigrate to New Zealand?
Hi there, recently married an Aus resident. During the health check they found i had type 2 diabetes, although it seems as this is easily controlled via diet and exercise which i am currently doing (this results in blood sugar levels being normal). Now i am about to apply for a spouse visa from inside Aus. But im worried as to how this will affect me. I also have a DUI from 2 years ago. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi, I was arrested 4 years ago and charged with breach of the peace. I entered a plea of not guilty and this plea of not guilty was accepted, therefore i have no convictions. I was also told that I did not have to disclose this arrest on any application forms, although after reading further on this, it is only in the UK that this applies. In the summer I visited the USA for a holiday and entered the country using the visa waiver program. I have recently found out that I may have had to either declare this arrest or apply for a visa since I had simply been arrested (even though i was not convicted of any offence). Is this likely to be looked into if ever apply for a visa to go back. Apart from this i have never been in any trouble before and i have a 4 year university degree. It was a genuie mistake and I was definetly not trying to enter illegally. Thanks for your help
Is it just convictions that need to be declared?
My 21 year old son would like to stay with my sister in New York and find work for maybe 6-12 months. He has just got his driving licence back after a 12 month ban for being over the drink-drive limit. Will this affect his chances of getting a work visa or indeed affect his chances of even visiting New York as a tourist?
Hello, My son( 17)is hoping to do a voluntary work placement at an animal sanctuary in Australia or New Zealand in his gap year, when he's 18. He was recently arrested for being in possession of a knife in a public place. He spent the night in a cell and was given a 'Final Warning ' Will he need to disclose this and if so,how will it affect his visa application? Also, what would his chances be, if he subsequently wanted to emigrate following his degree Thank you
we are currently considering emmigrating to Aus and qualify for independant skilled visa and also skilled sponsored, but our concern is my husbands rheumatoid arthritis for which he has had a wrist replacement,he is on medication but this is controlled, he is a qualified carpenter and joiner (21 years) but now is off the tools and is supervisory in this role for the last eight years, what are our chances with the medical and would it be more favourable to go with family sponsored or independant due to these factors Thank you
I am trying to immigrate to Aus. If I choose to hide some of my minor crime 5 years ago in Singapore, how can Aus DIMA find out the truth?

	No - dpending upon severity of the crime and your sentence you should be fine given the length of time for "rehabilitation" since the offence.

	Both areas are not unduly difficult to get through. You should consider using a registered agent near you. www.themara.com.au

	Always (including "next time" ) disclose if you are unsure.

	Noi - formal cautions also. Note - DIMa can refuse a visa on various other character grounds including - visa transgressions from the past, bankruptcy, and a long list of other areas.

	Yes - he should disclose this. I think with an explanantion and an assurance from him and a responsible adult he wont reoffend he has a good chance of being granted the visa.

	my initial thoughts would be to go with the sponored route - thus having slightly more weight and some grounds for appeal if the worst happens. I would say this is not a good DIY case call us at 0845 601 7810 or e-mail me on richard@my-oe.com Mark Welch from OE is excellent at handling these type of cases.

	My advice is - dont even think about lying. I operate a business to help LAWFUL migration applicants. I am not interested in providing assistance to dishonest applicants who will probably be refused a visa. Your best course of action is to employ an honest migration agent who will tell you your chances of success before you have spent a penny so that you can make an informed decsion on whether or not to apply. I work with people who have past crimes and misdeameanors to disclose. We do this in an open and honest way and ususally are succesful in getting a visa. Those people whose crimes are way too serious - I advise not to waste their money or my time! richard@my-oe.com
