ILR granted with driving conviction.

[created4luv]

Hello All

My sister got her ILR today with a driving conviction LC20 from court that was just 4months old. She got a fine which she paid and also points on her license. We got advice from a solicitor who said that the home office are deliberately vague on the issue of sec 322(1c) because they want to catch people out on deception by their not declaring the offence/conviction. The law says that the offence has to be on the criminal record to matter so in our case we got the PNC check from Acro which showed no info held and also an enhanced CRB.
She ticked yes and put the details and in the further info box put a note that the conviction was declared for information purposes and that it was not a general ground for refusal under the requirements of the immigration law as evidenced by the Acro letter and CRB cert as nothing was recorded on PNC.
Her appointment was today at croydon PEO and ILr was granted without any question regarding the conviction.

SO guys please if you have a driving conviction but your PNC is clear please declare it in good faith and supply ACRO letter and/or CRB. If there are no other issues you should be ok. Dont forget some prayer wont harm you as well.
