Re: Spent conviction for FPN ?

I have read several cases on this forum about HO and NCS giving incorrect advise. I'm not saying they are incorrect in your case but I am not convinced they are right either. There are several cases on this Forum with FPN's within 3 years of application who have had acceptance (I am not sure what F...

Re: Spent conviction for FPN ?

Hi guys, I went to the NCS and the case worker was of the opinion an FPN can be treated as a 'non-custodial sentence' depending on what the offence was. He called the H.O. and they asked if the details of the FPN. I told them £100 fine and 3 points for CD10. The H.O. also advised that it might be re...

Re: References needed again for passport?

If we go through JCAP :- - Would the referees for naturalisation be sufficient for passport application ? - Would the photos be needed extra for passport application? Do they need to be countersigned? 1) The countersignatory section of the passport form doesn't need to be filled. 2) You need to pro...

Ok.

Which section should I fill it in?

It's not criminal conviction then is it civil penalty or caution/warning (3.4 - 3.6) or just in additional details section ?

Re: Spent conviction for FPN ?

Thanks for your reply.

As I understand it, the above offence if gotten after going to court, I would have to wait for 3 years (spent)
If awarded by police (no court involved), then no wait/spent time involved.

Am I correct ?

SELT no. for old style IELTS test

Hello,

I had my test in 2013 and there is no SELT UER on it.

Only number I can find are:- Centre, Candidate, and Test Report Form number

I am guessing it should be the last one. Is this correct or is there a way to call them up and get it?
