I declared on section 3.6, also added explanation in section 6.7 as well as added a covering letter. Additionally I also tried to prove my good character by other means (as you know the speeding conviction affects the good character requirement). SO I included evidence of chartiable work as well got...

Does anybody know or heard of someone that had actually been unsuccessful in their citizenship application? This is one thing that this BOARD lacks completely. No one writes about if some one failed and the reason behind that. I know its pretty horrifying for people to come and write about their ex...

A mistake done cannot be reverted,
I would appreciate if some one who got rejected a British Citizenship due to a traffic offence to please write his experience.

It would be very helpful.


Many thanks

I was fined 165 and 4 points for SP30 offence in court. I have applied for naturalization and explained my mitigating circumstances in a cover letter. I really hope I get a case worker that is able to find some sympathy for my application grants me citizenship..... Anyone in similar situations who h...

Since you went to court, you need to declare it. However if thiat was your only conviction, it is probably going to be discounted.

I could be wrong - would this not be ok if you declare it on your application? I think its an issue when you are aware of it and have not declare or missed to declare any FP or convictions. Yes you are correct. I am planning to definately declare it. But wanted to some advice on what i should state...

I don't think that based on what you described you have a Fixed Penalty. If you didn't go to court it would have stayed an FP. However, now it seems to be a court conviction and is such will take 5 years to be spent. There issome risk your application will be turned down but I have seen many who we...
