Have you been charged? Has it gone to court?

Fine, penalty, points, banned from driving, caution? ....... explain what the court awarded you as a result of conviction.

You have to disclose this on the form, it's very important. If you do declare it, it will not have any major impact on your ILR. If you do not it will be an opportunity for refusal from UKBA.

It may be a case of "damned if you do, damned if you don't" (choice between a rock and a hard place) but, perhaps, better if you do....

Will he make the conviction(s) disappear? If not, how will his involvement help?

If you challenge the penalty points and the fine, then you need to go to the court, if you accept the charge, pay the fine and get your license endorsed with points then you dont need to go to the court.

thank you, if I am not taken to court, does it mean there is no record of me, so it will not effect my ilr application?

I know I am not helping your case, but I just can't imagine how people drive without insurance. Is it something that happens by accident? Is it common in the UK to drive without insurance? In my home country, you would go straight to jail if you kill someone in an accident and it appears that you are not insured. Is it different here?

driving conviciton and ILR

Post by bhayre » Fri Sep 10, 2010 11:17 pm

An driving conviciton, fine / and or points is a criminal offence and as such has to be declared on the application form you use when applying for ilr. Unfortunately the immigration rules are tightening up, and because you have a criminal conviciton you could be refused.

I would advise that you apply with the assistance of legal representiatives and that all mitigation is included along with your application as evidence.

Thank you for the advice.

I went to police station to hand over the driving lience, they told me that is not a criminal offence, and will not be recorded.

My insurance is just expired, the same comany send me a reminder of renewal, the price is double than last year, I was thinking to change a different insurance company, or try to sell this car.

on this occasion,I drived it to airport to take something for a friend and has been tracked by police car.

Hi I have been fined of 500 and 6 points in speeding. This has been ordered by court. However its been convicted 7 years back.

Should I still declare in set(O)?

Some one said, after 5 years they are not valid and my current licence is clean. DVLA said no endorsements on my license.

thanks
