Does SP30 affect success of ILR application

[diamonds]

Does an SP30 (£275 fine and 6 points on license) mean a definite refusal of an application for ILR or naturalisation even if the applicant is eligible in all other aspects.

Had an NCS appt and the advisor said having spoken to the Home Office an application for BC with this offence will 100% be refused - it must be spent to be approved.

Any advice?

Thanks

If it is from Court then yes you will need to wait untill it is spent.

You will have to wait for 3 years in total. So another year to go

Are they really really strict at the home office?

What if we risked an application? No leeway at all?

Thank u

[Gagan1986]

I won't say the chances of rejection are 100%, if we go by the rules then it is highly unlikely they will approve.

You never know, some ILR applications have been granted(24 months rule apply there) with speeding fine through the court.

It's upto you if you want to risk the money, would say the chances of approval are about 2-3%

So putting naturalisation aside, if someone made an application for ILR with a speeding conviction that occurred just over 24months ago, would u say its likely to be accepted?

Thanks

Yes my ILR got approved last month with a conviction through court 2.5 years ago.

Thanks Gagan, that's good news. And Congrats on ur ILR..

Also, quick question - with my application form, do I need to send all documents relating to the speeding offence, eg the court summons, the police witness statements, the court collection and fine order etc??

I would prefer not to send them with the application as even though it was over 24 months ago it doesn't really shed a positive light on character.

Look forward to ur response.

Thanks

Are you applying for ILR or naturalisation?

[diamonds]

Applying for ILR

[Gagan1986]

Yeah you be fine. Are you looking to apply by post or PEO?

If by post, why post?

[diamonds]

Yep I'm looking to apply by post because apparently they don't check long residency applications at PEO. That's what I was told when I rang immigration enquiry otherwise to be honest I would love to apply and get results on the spot.

That's correct, PEO do not process long residency applications.

You don't need to send any court summons etc. just on the section 7 declare your offence with date of offence and fine/points endorsed.

You can type up a cover letter detailing that as per new rules ref 13th dec 2012 your offence is outside 24 month period etched and print out a copy of immigration rules and attach it highlighting the rule. You will be fine.

Sounds good, thank u for ur advice, it's been helpful..

Do I need to fill out section 5 by the way? It says on the form if ur applying for long residency u don't need to fill it out section 5

Also, how long did it take for u to hear from HO with acceptance of ur ILR?

[diamonds]

By the way, even though I'm applying for ILR on basis of long residency the situation is the applicant (my partner) was born in the UK, but at the time of birth his parents were not settled.

So on the set o form I will be applying under the category marked 'other' and will explain 'Long residency - born in the UK but parents status not settled at time of birth'

That's why I was asking if I have to fill section 5 cos it's not long residency 10 years application, it's long residency other (from birth)...
