Questions:

5 years and 1 month ago I received a police caution (no further charges before or since)for opportunistic minor theft. I understand these are only a problem for 5 years but I wish to visit Australia for 3 weeks in October, but am very worried incase this causes a problem. I also wish to travel to Australia again next year with a friend, but up until recently she has been prescribed methadone. Please can you advise if a police caution that's older than 5 years will be a problem for a tourist visa and also if an ex methadone patient (who is a reformed person now) will have problems due to the methadone history. Many thanks

	Firstly you have to declare the caution. Methadone is not one I have dealt with in the past and is not one I can give FAQ advice on. The person concerned may wish to ring me - Richard Gregan 0131 625 6906 for some informed advice.

	Not definetly. It will cause questions to be asked and depending upon your prognosis a decision will be made. I have a client who has succesfully applied with similar circumstances.

	All medical matters are subject to many variables. Assuming your husband needs no further treatment and it is not envsioned that he will cost the Australian Health Community any moeny then there is a reasonable chance he will not be refused a visa.

	You will have a problem with both the health and character criteria here. You should appoint a registered migration agent to help you present your case in the best possible light.

	If you have a record - yes. If not - no.

	You must declare it. I will be considered against "character" when deciding upon grant or refusal of your application.

	I dont really understand BMI. I have known people be refused for being obese. 2 stone overweight wouldnt be a dealbreaker in my experience!

	Oz, NZ, Canada and USA - not Thailand.

	Juvenile records are not treated differntly but they will be viewed as happening a long time ago. I would suggest that this case is not without hope if your circumstances are properly relayed to the deciding officer.
