Help with Working Holiday Visa ?!

Hi There.

I know you probably get questions like this all the time , but I've looked all over google and been unable to find answers for the questions I have.

I initially applied for my WHV on the 24th October. I declared on my application that I had criminal convictions from when I was young. I was emailed by them on the 28th and asked to provide an ACPO certificate as well as additional information with regards the circumstances leading upto and surrounding each offence. I paid £89 for the premium service and received a few days later, it wasn't until last Tuesday( 5th November) however, that I sent it away.

On my ACPO certificate , it states that I was convicted of " housebreaking" in 2005 ( at the age of 15 , a group of friends and I made a moronic decision to enter the house of a friend whom was on holiday and take alcohol that belonged to his parents- one o my friends had the keys, was charged at the age of 16 and convicted at 17, got a £200 fine, I have stated all of this in depth in the additional info) , and a ' breach of the peace ' in 2006 , which was just a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, was given a £100 fine. Since then I have been completely law abiding and consider myself to be of good character. I have never been put in prison or been given community service.

I have two questions -

Has anyone got experience of anyone getting a WHV with a criminal record and do you think I will be okay getting my WHV granted?

When I sent the additional documents through, I sent it to the visa help desk email address as opposed to attaching them to my application on the website as I have somehow managed to forget the password I made for the website . I was sent an email back to say that they had received the email but when I check the status of my lodged application it still has a notification that says ' additional information required' from the 28th . So I'm wondering whether or not they have actually received the info, and how long it is likely to take to process after attaching additional documents ?

I have been really anxious about this , as I am flying to Thailand to meet my girlfriend this weekend, and we are planning to go to oz together after, she has already got her visa .

Any help, advice or tips would be appreciated .
