Hi all,
My family and I have been living in Australia for almost 3 years now. We were originally on a 457 but have now submitted a PR application. The PR application has finally moved into an assessment stage.
I am starting to worry a bit though because almost 10 years ago I paid a small fine (~$44) for marijuan_ possession and misdemeanour theft. As a result of the weed, I was denied tourist entry to the USA about 9 years ago.
I have disclosed all of this to Aussie immigration on both the 457 and PR application but since I don't have access to the US visa application that I submitted 10 years ago, I'm unsure if there are perhaps small details that differ i.e times of events, quantity etc.
Should I be concerned? I know the two countries share visa info but unsure what details are shared and if the department would reject based on small mismatches in the stories.
A lot of risk for us, my wife is pregnant, back home my company no longer has offices, we've sold our house and don't have medical aid there so holding thumbs it all comes together and we're not sent packing.
Any advice would be well received.
Thanks,
