This may be of interest to you:

After keeping a clean license of circa 18 years, all the way through my student years, I got clocked doing 80 mph in a 70 mph zone on the return journey from NCS Hamilton where I had just submitted my BC application. Got 3 pts and 60 pound fine, which I paid as soon as the letter came through.

In between there were plenty of parking fines, one (FCN or PCN I can't remember) for breach of the Environmental Protection Act, though outside of the 1 yr before I made the application.

The fine wasn't listed on my form obviously as it happened after the submission, but doesn't look like the HO had a problem with it.

This doesn't count and no need to disclose.

This is a conviction and must be declared. Phaysically going or not going to court is immaterial. This now attracts a five year rehabilitation period, that begin from the date of conviction. How many points you got and when points come off or never come off your license is immaterial to when the conviction becomes spent. This conviction must be declared. There is a chance that if you explain your cicumstances and ask for discretion, then it may be exercised. But no one can guarantee that this will certainly happen.

And last a Police caution!!!2009

This got spent as soon as it was issued, so no need to declare.
(Must be declared only if the caution was for an offence of a sexual nature, and your name was entered in sexual offenders register)

Nothing stops you from applying for naturalisation, but what the outcome will be is totally another story. I would say, the chances are good if you write a good covering letter mitigation your conviction. But again, let me stress, this is my personal thoughts and not a professional legal advice. if you are unsure, then take legal advice. Having said that, even a legal advisor cannot guarantee the outcome.


If i should, which one of the above 3 offences should i declare on
application???

As explained above, you just need to declare your speeding conviction and nothing else.


Hope this helps.

I cannot legally charge you for immigration advice, but if you want me to write a sample covering letter, I will charge you £3000 for my clerical services. :wink:
