tier 1 psw with drink drive

Does Drink driving conviction effect to Tier 1 visa application in the UK?

My friend convicted after he applied for Tier 1 visa. Then he received letter from UKBA for finger print, and he completed it. Then, he attended to court and pleaded guilty. He got 1-year ban from driving and court penalties which he paid immediately, and took drink drive rehabilitation course.

Now, his application has been delayed for 4 months?

Please share your experience and advices?

Does he have any chance to get visa?

Many thanks in advance.

He qualifies for 95 points, but he got drink drive conviction.

I would say he has nothing to worry about since the conviction happened post-application. Only way it would have affected him was if it happened before his application and he failed to disclose the information on the vaf9 form.

He went to court & paid his dues and its a civil issue that has nothing to do with his application.

Duplicate post. So on another section of the forum your friend is applying for an 'EU spouse visa' now he is applying for tier 1.
