What I have been pondering since my first answer on your original post is......

If you told your girlfriend that you have a record...

It is none of my business , but in my opinion it would be much fairer to her if she knows in advance and so she can make an unbiased decision on her future with or without you....
If you told her about it, I admire your sense of commitment and dedication.
If you haven't told her yet it is about time you do, before you actually meet and the relationship enters a new phase.

If she happens to find out about your record after the fact, on her own bat..... You will have lots of trouble. You will never be able to regain her trust, or, worse, her affection...

The ball is in your court...

Good luck...

Good point Dom i would also check the set (m) visa application it asks if either of you have a crminal record i think if my memory serves me correct. You also have to list any convctions. So looks like you doing the best thing and facing up to it now.
