Criminalty Threshold, differentiate btw ILR & Naturalisa

skilachi wrote:Hello,

Can someone please clarify the new chanages regarding the criminalty threshold when applying for ILR or UK Naturalisation.

Been reading different comments and also UKBA site

For ILR

where the person is seeking indefinite leave to enter or remain:

they have, within the 24 months preceding the date of the application, been
convicted of or admitted an offence for which they have received a non-custodial sentence or other out of court disposal that is recorded on their criminal record.”

..So that means applicants can apply 24months or 2yrs after the date of conviction/offence (and in most cases still declare there unspent conviction as it will be unlikely the conviction will be spent since the new rehabilitation act is still yet to come into effect in April 2013).


Now for full UK Naturalisation (after getting ILR).


Read this states applicants will have to wait 36months i.e 3yrs after the date of conviction.

Can you please clarify that for those applying for

ILR will need to wait 24months (2years) and
Naturalisation need to wait 36 months (3years) before they can apply?

Thanks
