Well Said! and Honesty pays!walrusgumble wrote:It depends on the situation.
Did the offence and conviction happen before making the application, and if so, did he disclose that information? If he did not disclose that information, the refusal was justified. Failure to disclose is an automatic refusal
However, very different story if the event happened while waiting, could be challenged.
Anyway, apply again, by emphasizing
(1) As a refugee, essentially they are stateless (not technically, but practically, and things aint going to change) Moreover, since he is a refugee, they do get a lot of leeway with social welfare and offences
(2) disclose the info about the offence. The offence was nonsense, but, just show "absolute remorse". Don't make any negative comment about how stupid it was, (even though it was - sure Shatter's wife made headlines (unfairly) for drink driving, an aim papers tried to embarrass him)
(3) Put far more information into the application, pointing out his good character, no other offences, his real connection to the State, his educational status. Family status etc
Seriously I really doubt he would fail then
Sometimes we have to accept the truth. First of all he should try to get the answer from DOJ. Then only he can get clear idea that on what reason his application was turned down.ImmigrationLawyer wrote:"I've been waiting three years on my citizenship application"
