Points Of Consideration For Character Waivers
The Nature And The Intensity Of The Crime Committed
The type of crime committed and its intensity will be determined by the immigration authority of Australia while assessing the application for health waivers. Offences that are minor or were committed long ago can be considered negligible and assessed leniently.
Length Of Time Since The Offence Was Committed
The chances of an applicant being considered for a character waiver increase if it has been long since the offence occurred. The consideration also requires evidence that shows rehabilitation and good conduct during that time frame
Rehabilitation and good conduct
By providing proof of rehabilitation and good conduct, the applicants can increase their chances for the eligibility of character waivers. They may be required to participate in rehabilitation programs, community service, employment history, and character references.
Potential Risks Versus Compelling Reason
The risks of granting the visa will be assessed against the weightage of compelling reasons to allow entry by the immigration authority of Australia. Convincing reasons to be granted a visa can contribute a lot in the case of character waivers.
Personal Circumstances
Several circumstances will be considered, such as the reason as well as the intention of the applicant to migrate to Australia, along with humanitarian and compassionate considerations.
