I feel like a complete idiot... I was convicted for a speeding offence sp30 for driving 37m per hour, however as I was not invited to attend in a court, was just sent a letter to pay to the court and got 3 points on my licence. It was in 2009, I pit this into 3.7, and since I have never been to the court, I said I got an fpn and paid it in full straight away.... Someone in a different thread said that since I paid to a court, it is a criminal offence, not an fpn.... I am now so worried that I might unknowingly and unwillingly put an incorrect information on my application, which can now be refused because of this?.... What do I need to do? On my licence there is no a date of conviction, but the words in that field: "conditional offer" .....

Thanks for your advise...

Everything is easy to trace and check and no sign of decision yet... I don't think it depends on whether application is as a spouse or not... I think it is pure luck!! Also, need to bear in mind, some caseworkers might take holidays over Easter.... It will slow down in April I think.... But hey! Need to stay optimistic.... It will come!!

My case is very similar to yours. Came here as a child, receive ILR the following year (2001)..left the country only twice. I think it may be luck. Do you think location (or nationality?) anything to do with it?
