Changes to immigration rules

[johny007]

hey guys, been reading this site for last couple of days.
Even got a short answer already from one of the moderators in another thread on the same subject, which I kindly appreciate, but it didnt really give me the full picture. her it is:

from what I understand so far until now You had to declare only the unspent convictions, but from now on you will have to declare the spent convictions also - I dont know how this relates to European Human Rights, but thats is another question, and I'm not into that.
so does anybody know how the new SET(O) formn for ILR will look?

Will you have to declare all your spent convictions on the new form?

FRom what I read, from this UKBa guide, top of page 23>
General grounds for refusal
Section 4 of 5 – Considering leave to remain
"You cannot refuse leave to remain under paragraph 322(5) if the applicant’s criminal conviction can be considered as spent under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act. For more information see related link: Rehabilitation of Offenders Act"

So actually they will not be able to refuse you from 13 dec on the grounds of spent convictions, but I have a feeling that they will be able to refuse you because of good character issues, saying that somebody who jumps the red light is too dangerous for UK roads?

Any info on this?
Cheers
Johny
