Hi all I have put myself in a a tricky situation.
I was working and living in Newzealand for 14 months and was convicted of DUI twice so had my next visa declined.
I was in a relationship with a kiwi girl for 12 months and on my return to England we applied for a work visa through our relationship but after 6 months also got declined on the character basis.
I have had to call it off for now with my partner as I have no idea if I can return and she's unable to move here.
I have told her I'll do everything I can to get a visa and hopefully can get back over and try and win her over again.
I have quit drinking and I'm attending counselling and trying to think of other things I can do so when I reapply in 6 months they might approve a character waver.
Is this a realistic dream? And does anyone know of other things I could do? Also would 6 months be long enough?
Please help, any advice would be great and help put me at ease
