Application with convictions - New GOOD CHARACTER requirements

[bcenq]

I put in my application and did my biometrics 5 months ago and I am still awaiting a decision but my situation is not straightforward. I have a previous fraud related conviction (non violent, non sexual), got a 10 month prison sentence and this was 11 years ago, I also have a drink drive conviction will happened 2 years after the previous conviction, got banned from driving for 12 months.

I have not had any issues with the law for the past 9 years, paying my taxes and living right, Normally I would have been more confident with my application before the latest GOOD CHARACTER policy that came into effect at the end of JULY 2023.

Considering how long it has been since my convictions, will that possibly tilt towards a positive outcome? on balance of probabilities, as my credit is good, I have no debt, I am not bankrupt, all my taxes are paid up to date.

I have not done any voluntary work, charities etc as I didnt want to do it just for the application even if I was adviced to
