I think you should be fine. Case workers guidelines clearly state that minor offences such as speeding can be overlooked if it is the only conviction and all other requirements are met.droogish wrote:I think I may have wasted £720 pounds.
I have applied for naturalisation.
4.5 years ago, I got a speeding fine 66mph in a 50 zone - but was on a foreign license so the fine was issued by a court (£60) via post.
This is my only conviction ever, however it was not a "fixed penalty", as I had a foreign license.
I got the impression from the UKBA site, that a single minor conviction, resulting in a fine (such as for speeding), can be overlooked. Yet elsewhere, i get the impression that no unspent convictions - no exceptions.
I declared this information on my application.
In hindsight, i should have waited 6 months, till it was "spent".
The NCS did not pick up on this - they submitted my app!
Does anyone know if UKBA will still be able to find me of good character with this?

Congrats droogish. Did HO contact you before approving your application? Did they let you know that they are going to apply discretion in your case? Is it by phone or letter? I never heard that HO will contact if there is a issue in the application.droogish wrote:Some good news..
UKBA contacted me explaining that they understood how the situation concerning my fine / fixed penalty had arisen. Because I had disclosed this information they had decided to apply discretion and approve my application in this case...i.e. it would be considered minor.
In hindsight, I still wouldn't recommend anyone in my situation applying..better to wait the full five years and take no chances!
So my ceremony is now booked for next week!
Horray! Happpy days.
