Innocent until proven guilty. If you don't send the fingerprints, they will refuse your application for not complying. At least if you comply, you can appeal for H&C if need be. At this point, you should just wait to see what they say. An accusation is not a conviction. Therefore, if you draw it out (delay), that might work. I am not an attorney though -- more an armchair commentor.Thanks for the reply. Do you think she is getting the fingerprints request because they know what she did already? Since she got her picture taken and fingerprints last week? Or asking for the Police Check is common among all applicants?
And.. if she gets diversion, or the charges withdrawn will we have problems as well? My concern is that we send her fingerprints now, and they see she has been arrested and make the decision right away to deny the application instead of waiting for the court resolution.
Have you heard of any other similar case?
Thank you so much, I am really worried and we've been waiting for so long that I am very afraid they will separate us.
