I think any offence that is fined by Court, must have to mention on the applicatonapply4hsmp wrote:what about spouse criminal offences ? if ones spouse has a shop lifting offence will it cause any problems for the main applicant ?
does that need to be declared ? is there such a section of declaration ?
Hi Srinivas,Hi
One of my other friend also in same situation. He declared his court conviction of 60£ fine and 3 points on his license.He also sent the court conviction letter...He got his visa stamped in 20 days...So i think by declaring it will be helpful to us....Hope it is a good news for people who are in this kind of situation...

Hi Jackie,
I think still it is worth to declare...In My friend case it was happened before his initial application but i think at that time (in 2006 April) there was no column to declare the motor offences (but i am not sure)...
He declared for his extension(before declaring he send a mail to Home office and confimed that it is not going to be a problem as long as you give correct and genuine informaton for traffice offences)...So he declared and got the visa stamped for 3 years...He received his papers in 20 days...
I think it is worth while making a call to Home office and finding information for your satisfaction...
Hi Srinivas,Jakie,
I send my application last week.I have declared the traffic offence on my application and send the fixed penalty slip(also included the Driving counter part to show 3 points).Waiting for the result and update the forum once i hear from them...
Thanks
Srinivas
Your view of the matter is incorrect. All convictions, even so-called "minor" or "traffic" convictions, must be delcared. Speeding tickets issued at the side of the road and Court-imposed convictions are two completely different things. Applicants need to fully appreciate that immigration authorities, like almost all other authorities, generally do not distinguish between "traffic" convictions and more serious convictions, such as theft or assault. All convictions must be disclosed. If they are not disclosed, and are later identified by the authorities, there can be serious penalties.I put an application for HSMP extension under Tier 1. It got rejected because I failed to disclose my criminal offences which actually were minor motoring offences. I was under an impression that it need not be disclosed since they were minor offences...

Yes, you should declare the same in the application. As in the guidance and in the form, nowhere it says that don't mention the offence if it is older than some period or if traffic offence is removed from your driving license. It is my personal view that you should mention the same in application form. If in doubt, I would suggest drop a mail to HO and get advise from them.Do I still need to declare it to Home Office at the time of my extension next year?

I put an application for HSMP extension under Tier 1. It got rejected because I failed to disclose my criminal offences which actually were minor motoring offences. I was under an impression that it need not be disclosed since they were minor offences...which was the same that I did in my earlier HSMP application which got accepted without any harm. Now during the extension on Tier1 it got stuck because I did the same mistake. An appeal has been lodged on the grounds of discretion and unintentional mistake that mean no harm or deception. I exceed my Tier1 points way easily and this nondisclosure was the only reason why my application got rejected.
I am currently working but my HSMP ran out on the 6th June. What are the options left for me to work in this country till the time there is some decision from the AIT and the hearings? As I understand an appeal preserves my right to stay in this country but does it preserve my right to work? as I understand that the process might take long time and living here is tough...
any help or advice is much appreciated,
thanks,

Hi Touchsensor,Hi there,
If you have a speeding ticket in another country and it has been 5 years since, do you need to declare as well? My friend is applying for PBS and need some guidance.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Touchsensor
