Hi All,
I'm in the process of applying for a spousal visa with my partner (American) hoping to bring them to the UK. This is the first time they have applied for a UK visa.
As part of the visa form, there is a question:
"Have you ever received any other penalty in relation to a criminal offence, for example a caution, reprimand, warning or similar penalties in the UK or another country?"
My partner has previously has previously been pulled over by a police officer for speeding twice, once in the last 9 months and again in 2012. He wasn't fined or arrested, but was told he was given a warning and the officer took his details.
There were also 2 other motoring offences:
He was given a parking ticket in a federal car park in the last 2 years, which he paid and carried on. He was also given a small fine for mistakenly driving into an EZ Pass toll lane without a pass.
We've checked his licence, and there are no records on the licence of any fines, warnings or infractions and he has no paperwork from the fine or from the warnings.
Should we declare these on his application? What impact will they have on the likelihood of being granted a spousal visa? Is this worth seeking advice from an immigration lawyer on?
Thank you for the help!
