MY STORY TO ENCOURAGE SOMEONE.

Hi All,

Just a quick question/clarification.

i had a driving ban in 2009 due to totting up. (3 point for speeding + 3 point for speeding + 6 point for driving without insurance) = 6 month driving ban + (TT99) in 2009. I had another driving ban in 2011 due to totting up again. (6 point for driving without insurance. although I had a comprehensive insurance in my name but due to the friend's car not insured + 3 point for speeding + 3 point for speeding) = 6 month ban + fine + TT99 on licence in 2011. I was also stopped and fine by police in 2009 for driving without road tax which i paid instantly. I have been clean like whistle since 2012 with not even a parking ticket since.

I am now due to apply for naturalization and just wondering if I need to declare the speeding points/offences that were not giving in court as they were fines/point given by the police which I paid on time and its only one TT99 showing on my licence now cos all the rest had dropped off. Do I stand a chance?

Thanks in advance.
You have lot going on there - You might just be okay for 2009 offence but 2011 would be a problem, AFAIK - When was this in 2011? You might be better off waiting until it is classed as spent to save £900+ :shock:

I think in this instance what the OP has said is that his/her application has been approved against all odds. Congrats comcomu!

I will update the forum when I go for my application in the end of march... My partner and kid got the approval not without the valuable support from the forum. thank you so much guys and gals...

Just a tip: My kid's application was under section 1(3). His absences from the UK were more than 450 days in the past 5 years. Under the section 1 (3), there is no residential requirement for kids. So his application had gone thro' and one of his referees was his nursery manager with british passport... I thought sharing it might help someone. :lol:

EEA applications started to arrive. Fingers crossed mine will come soon.

I have just seen on the January 2015 applications timeline that some of them received confirmation of approval via email. Did any of you get an email to confirm approval?
