Hi all

I got a rejection email today, and I says. "You were asked to provide information pertaining to any criminal convictions or cautions in your application. This was also your opportunity to submit information in support of your good character. However, it is noted that you did not declare the criminality recorded against you, nor were any mitigating factors provided "

I had a previous conviction for which i got a 10month sentence 11years ago and I clearly stated in the application, and I also include a copy of my dbs report in the application. This has to be a mistake right?
Well, if you have declared it then it is a mistake.
What is your criminal record? Full 10 months sentence or is this what you’ve spent in prison?

I spent 5 months in prison, 11 years ago. My sentence was 10 months in total. It has to be a mistake from the case worker, because I have a copy of the application I submitted and I declared it and also included my dbs report, but I did not include any cover letter or present mitigating circumstances, which is not the reason that was stated. I am going to seek a review of the decision

Hi
Similar case to mine , seems like having Imprisonment sentences Is difficult to have citizenship really. HO will somehow come with a reason .no matter how many years have passed It will still follow you up. Mine is enter the country illegally working illegally using false passport. I never been forgiven for this.

Has anyone who got refused put in for reconsideration yet?

Has anyone got any idea how long the reconsideration process takes on average?

Saw a couple of articles where some people mentioned waiting over a year for a response.

There may not be that many applicants on the forum who have been refused and submitted reconsideration.

There's no stated service level for reconsideration applications.

as above
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.

We don't provide advice on professional solicitors, you can try to get a quote from a couple other people and compare the price.
All advice comes from personal research and experience and should not be regarded as professional opinion.

Mine asked for £200 plus VAT, maybe its because they handled the initial application as well.
