Hi there,
I'm still a bit new to this forum so please forgive me for not knowing the abbreviations and terms. I've read through other posts but have a specific question about convictions.
My husband is applying for settlement in UK from his residence of Jamaica. He was in the UK in 2002-2004 and was convicted of driving without a license and was refused a further visiting visa in 2009 because of it. They say he has used another identity. I've been advised to get a CRB done and explain that it was 10 years ago and he has changed since.
He was also convicted of a miscellaneous offense in Miami 2005 for possession of cannabis, and I've been advised by legal advisers not to declare this offense on the application form.
I would just like to know if what I've been advised is the way to go as every legal adviser i speak to gives me conflicting info.
