any assistance with the above please regarding if the ILR will only consider the period between 2007 - 2012 and 2012 - 2013 not inclusive???legit2011 wrote:@innocentdevil...seems you misunderstood my note.
Yes I ahve done a CRB and it came up with the unspent conviction two months ago, but they should be spent after 5yrs (feb 2013).
The plan is to carry out another CRB check early 2013 to be sure it has been spent and apply for ILR. However my question is:
1) If I have to leave to my present employer for a contracting role with an umbrella company will there be any issues to a successfull ILR application in 2013 assuming my unspent conviction becomes spent.
2) The 5yrs qualification period for ILR should count from 2007 - 2012??? is 2012 - 2013 going to be considered for any reason??
Any assistance will be aprpeciated folks
Your 5 year qualifying period is counted backwards from your ILR application date + 28 days. This is a simplified explanation specific to your case.legit2011 wrote:@innocentdevil...seems you misunderstood my note.

I am just new on the board and I wish I knew about this ages ago before my drink driving court case in 2008.
I started off with the fresh talent initiative ?(FTI) visa in 2005 - 2007, my company got me a work permit just after my FTI expired and i have been wt the same employer since 2005. I am due for my ILR in may 2012.
Now the bomb, I have a drink driving conviction + fines in 2008, completed the drink driving rehabilitation course same yr and got a reduction in the ban to 9months.
If i have to apply for an ILR, would this be granted? as i read, thanks to this forum that a 5yr unspent period needs to be completdd before i can 'come clean', if not what are my options.?
I understand and thanks once again to this forum that the 5yr rehabilitation period is been looked at in the house of lords for a reduction to 1yr. Does anyone have any idea if this can come to play in april 2012 when i will be due to apply for my ILR.
Please help as this is an SOS...many thanks
1) Begin by using your "date of switching" immigration categories (FTI to Work Permit) to determine the date when you would normally have become eligible for ILR as a economic migrant. I see that the date is somewhere in 2007, but as theres no specific date mentioned, I cannot determine what your ILR eligibility date would be. But you can add 5 years to the "date of switching" to come up with this yourself.legit2011 wrote:.#legit2011 wrote:Hello

In 2010 I have close to 210 days out of the UK on business trips, will that be a worry?. I have a letter from my employers saying that they are all business trips but with the new rules, do I fall short on the grounds for refusal??
so, do you mean that if i have unspent conviction (dr10), so i could extend my visa without problem?sushdmehta wrote:If you have unspent conviction(s) the only option(s) available to you is that you apply for extension if you qualify for one as and when it is due or leave UK before expiry of your current leave.

normally if you are caught driving drunk over the limit then you are arrested which I am sure appears in enhanced crb checks because police take fingers prints and all that malarki at the station.
your only option would be to keep extending your stay until it is spent.
best thing would be to do an enhanced CRB check on yourselves. if it is still coming an UNSPENT then you are in danger. You have mentioned you have done a rehabilitation course, that should have helped with the conviction itself.
get it check, i repeat, do an enhanced CRB check.
