IRL AND DRIVING OFFENCE urgent please

Hello there,
I will really appreciate your advice on my case...

I am currently holding a spouse visa which is expiring in sep 2013. I have been convicted with driving without insurance in UK. I was fined in the court with points. in Feb 2011
I was looking at the Set (M) to fill out for the ILR and there was a section for 'Personal History', which requires declaration of any ciminal and traffic offences.

For the question regarding 'the nature of the offence', do I answer 'traffic offence' or are they looking for any other information about the offence?

I wonder also if anyone knows of cases where applicants were refused the ILR due to the declaration of driving without insurance? I am extremely worried.

I will put in the details of my conviction ie. Court Order #, penalty, conviction date. Any other information I need to include? I just want all information in the form to be clear, factual and concise, without over-lengthy explanation which may sound like an excuse. Do I need to explain reason for not being insured (negligence) in the form or just leave that?

Can I apply in person in this case (as I am not sure this will be considered a straightforward case)? Other than this conviction, everything else is straightforward as I am married to a British and have one KID and we both are working full time without claiming any benefits.

Please do advise as any advice and information will be most helpful. Really appreciate it.

Regards,
fqvi

As 24 months has lapsed the conviction will no longer be a general grounds for refusal. Declare it as a conviction - traffic offence (driving without insurance). You can apply at the PEO. If you have children, your spouse may claim child benefit in his/her name and you may claim tax credits jointly without it affecting your application.
