Tier1 Extension - Declaring Traffic offence

[ram.r2]

Hi All,
I browsed through the forums on this topic, but still I find the following areas unclear. Can someone clarify this please?

I'm planning to submit my tier1 extension, along with the dependant application next week. I have 3 points on my UK licence due to a speeding ticket. My wife has 3 points on her provisional licence for traffic signal violation. I understand that these are relatively minor offences, but would need to be declared. But the questions that remain on reading the application form are:

a) should the counterpart of the licence be attached with the application form as a evidence of having 3 penalty points?
b) Is this a case of civil judgement or criminal offence?
c) There is a section that asks for date of sentence/Judgement. There was no sentence/Judgement passed for awarding points to me. So what date should be filled in here?
d) My wife committed the offence with her indian licence. So, the case was dealt my court and fine of £50 paid. So, in my dependant application form, do I need to mention the date of sentence/Judgement(the date when the case was dealt with in court and fine levied).?
e) There is one more section that asks the details of sentence or civil judgement. Again, I think this would not apply to me but applies to my wife(because her offence was dealt in court, as she had indian driving licence). Is that correct?

Can someone please clarify the above points.

Thanks,
Prabhu

Prabhu,

The bottom line is that you have to declare these offeces on the form. I know someone on this forum their visa got refused becouse not disclosing traffic offence.

The decision will not effect (I am 110% sure but you can as someone for your piece of mind) your application . So be honest and declare this.

You dont need to provide any evidence about this. they will find out from police database if they want to verify ( and quite often they do verify!)

I know this becouse I was in same situation and I have declared this on both application (HSMP initial and Tier 1). & didnt harmed me on either ocassion.

SO BE HONEST AND DECLARE WHAT EVER THERE IS.

ALL THE BEST.

Just declare it. I had speeding tickets too, mentioned no court case, on the spot fine and that's it.

Date is just approximation and just as it is.

[dahokolomoki]

Anything that has been recorded down in a police database or as a court judgement/fine has to be declared, as this will definitely come up when the Home Office does its search.

If they find something that wasn't declared, it is literally a straight rejection, and then you will have to go through the painful process of appeal.

Just declare in the form. It will not affect the outcome of your application (except for naturalization purpose, when all the criminal convictions should be spent). I can assure you 200%. If you don't declare and BHO comes to know of it, you will be banned for 10 years.
