I am foggy with the dates but i am waiting on a ARCO police certificate coming in the next few days.
Background I am from UK, Married and 1 dependant both wife and child are Indonesian.
I am 54 years of age and my convictions are
1. about 1987? aged around 17 ish.....assault (not fightinging but trying to break up a fight/ i grabbed someone and they complained as i bruised persons arm/Elbow) i was fined about £30?
2. about 1991? aged about 20, affray, I was with 2 old friends walking on public right of way when one of them had a confrontaction with a game keeper/ similar my dog became agitated and i swore at the game keeper/ other AND one guy i was with, Game keeper made a complaint and we all got community service / community payback
3. early 2000s? i was visiting my son who lives with his mother and grandmother, my sons aunts ex was uninvited and being verbal and aggressive, i asked my sons mother to call the local Police and i pushed/ grabbed his harm and made him leave the private property, as it was not my home and he made a complaint i was given 60? hours community service, the last 20+ years i have been hard working and not tried to be as helpful / stupid as i previously was.
I have accepted a position in QLd Australia and if successful will convert to 482 visa with my wife and daughter joining me, I am so stressed about missing this opportunity not just for me but my wife and especially my daughter (school, enviroment, health system etc)
Thanks
