Thankyou

Good Luck with your application and be careful if and when you drive till the time you apply.

Thankyou for your reply and kind advice.I don't drive just because of these ever changing rules regarding criminality thresholds and driving offences particularly those notorious FPN'S




I would request moderators to put this thread as a sticky as anyone who is applying for the citizenship can simply evaluate their application against the above template of requirements for a citizenship as the above can be used as a template to assess and analyze a prospective application whether it stands a chance to be a successful or need to delay applying if the evaluation against the above rules suggest a possibility of refusal.




Basically its just an attempt to streamline application process with an answer after completing the above questionnaire as almost every application for naturalization has to meet the above(apart from type and qualifying residential period)


Thankyou

See the Good Character FAQ for accurate guidance (click)

There are a number of inaccuracies in your post, for example, a marriage need not be subsisting and all the 'criminality' information is not a no, there are periods when the convictions won't count, an ASBO won't fall under criminality unless breached etc......

I understand your point Amber regarding this post as it can NOT be used as a template to evaluate an application's criminality perspective as it differs from person to person and its lot more complex then what I have proposed above thank you

Didn't understand this bit of your reply would you be able to elaborate it in a bit more detail as I don't know if you are referring to my application?and also what are the chances of my application being successful in the light of my above explained circumstances?



Thank you

Not for you, I meant that for convictions after a certain period they should not result in an automatic refusal, I.e. after 3 years has lapsed since receiving a non custodial sentence so even if you ticked yes, it would mean you'd be refused.

Only risks (if they should be called risks anyways) could be either being outside UK on the first day of the qualifying period count and a having past that involves any criminal or terrorism supporting activity in your homeland or previous country of residence.

Rather than that I see no chances of refusal according to my knowledge..

Good character actually amounts to more than criminality and terrorism. See the Good Character FAQ (click)

Thanks Amber, what I mentioned was only 2 outstanding potential risks that Navalaviator has not preliminarily eliminated in his original post such as fixed penalty notices, tax arrears etc.

Other than that your informing post in the link was a source that everyone here has looked at before once or twice, thanks for that!

He seems to be clear as crystal yet needs to be assured as most of us here. I have even contacted the council of the city I previously lived to make sure I have no council tax etc left unpaid (turned out I have left a £23.00 behind me and cleared that out so now I am white as a bloody snow flake)

Haha, yes, though bizarrely those who need to worry often don't and then wonder why they've been rejected.

Thankyou for bringing my attention to your points but I have mentioned in my first post that I do not have any Tax arrears or Fixed penalty issues as I am not Self-employed so don't have to worry about tax arrears etc. plus don't have any benefit issues etc with HMRC as not claiming anything(I know I can claim without affecting citizenship) and I don't drive so don't have any infamous Fixed penalty issues etc. whatsoever.

And I am a good boy all around and don't have any criminal or violent past in home country whatsoever either so nothing to worry about on that side of the things.

Paying council tax through direct debt with no arrears etc.

Haha LMHO Well you are right as these 3 years and particularly the 2 years on spouse visa are definitely like walking on a rope with a balancing rod in both hands to avoid falling and going into the sheer depth,you just do one wrong move or 'fall asleep' and you are screwed and I just managed to do it successfully somehow and crossed the rope despite of strong cross winds and storms hehe and have seen some others who were blown off the rope and disappeared into the blind depths while attempting to do the same but they got distracted lost focus and ended up in the sheer fall and couldn't make it to the other end.



YES you are 100% right that after 3 years and still married and on top of it a sound mind is definitely an eccentric and rare combination

Please continue in your other thread.
