Dear advisers and gurus,
I am due to attend my naturalisation application in the local NCS in 2 weeks time. However, I have the following 3 questions, could the senior members please advise me on these. I have spent lots of time in the past week to review the relevant information in the forum regarding these issues but I am still on the unclear side.
- I was given a FPN for speeding (3 points on paper licence and £60 fine) back in 2006 (about 9 years ago) which I paid on-time. I believe 3 points were removed from my licence in 2010 (about 5 years ago). Do I need to declare this in my application form?
- I was given a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) from London Borough of Hammersmith&Fulham in July 2015 (few months ago) which I paid the £65 fine on-time and that was the end of it. Do I need to declare this PCN on my application form?
- My wife called the police on me and I was arrested for assault in October 2011. I spent 3 nights in temporary retention (Friday night to Monday morning) to be sent to court on Monday. On Monday morning they called me and said you are free to go, so I did not go to the court. It happened in Scotland. Few months later, in 2012, I applied for my information on police computer. I received the response few weeks later. On Scottish Criminal History System form that I received it said DISPOSAL: NO PROCEEDINGS, and on Police National Computer form it said DISPOSAL: NOT PROCEEDED WITH. It is also written on the form NO CONVICTIONS, NO REPRIMANDS/WARNINGS/CAUTIONS. On the Notes section it was also written that "Temporary Retention details are held for 6 months for administrative purposes". THIS IS THE IMPORTANT ONE FOR ME. Please advise do I need to declare this? If I do not declare this, can it be a ground for my application to be rejected? (may not be relevant, but I am a doctor and living with the same wife and now we have a baby- so that was a 1 off incident).
I called the nationality team phone number. The person over the line was not interested and did not listen to me properly but he said to me to mention everything. However, I am not asking for unnecessary trouble. My personal view is, as long as it does not result in the rejection of my application I am happy NOT to mention it.
Many thanks.
