Yes,

But is my letter too offensive to be used against me? for eg: good character requirement.

Have i dug my own grave?

Hi there, 1: I always had fully legal documents to stay in the UK. Current permit expiring 2022. 2: I made initial contact with local NCS, who said that it is a must for me to get letters from all employers. Hence..... I was overly anxious with my naturalisation application, that I desperately start...

Re: Criminal Conviction: Hope for me?

Our family i.e. myself and my EEA spouse claimed housing and council tax benefit few years back.
It was claimed appropriately and transparently.
Is it seen with wrong eyes by the HO in anyway?

Re: Criminal Conviction: Hope for me?

Do you wish to? Fulfill your wish and write. Do you need to? No. Will writing help? Maybe, who knows! HO isn't bothered to know the personal or other reasons that led you to offend. That you were convicted or not is what they must know from your application form. Thanks! makes sense! Thank you again.

Splendid! I did the same. yes it is lot easier and less cumbersome than NARIC.

Direct Application VS NCS

Hello All, Moderator, this is a different topic from me. What are the advantages of applying directly, if you sensibly give all the documents, and read the guides before sending the app and the money? The reason I am asking for, is that a local NCS (not in England) is being an absolute Pen Pusher, a...

Just to share, that a very simple employer (a pizza shop)from past has agreed to type, sign and provide me the employment letter in next 3 hours! Very touching!

Sure.

But I think that the NCS guy is being too "pen pushy" type!

Re: Criminal Conviction: Hope for me?

Ok, here is the update and the planned "plan". 1: HMRC sending job history in 7 - 10 days. 2: Got success with some past employers to give the dates. But nothing in writing due to paucity of time. 3: So I will write approx start dates as derived from the P 45's, pay slips and explain to the HO hones...

Re: Criminal Conviction: Hope for me?

Thanks your post makes sense. For further clarity my PR was issued in October 2012. Yes, he is asking for the employment history evidence.

Re: Criminal Conviction: Hope for me?

:( :( NCS just made me worried. Technically I could have sitted on my back side (I did not do that, and never will) for 6 years, and still got PR as I was counted as a family member. The NCS guy over the email, that we must see evidence of start dates. Eh??? I have explained to him now, that my PR w...

HI, Yes trying to contact now. Since for the past 6 years my wife had to do all this to prove treaty rights. I am happy to submit my p 45s and p 60s to prove that I was working as well. Although under EEA regulations, I was never required to work (dependent on EEA spouse). I can give approximate sta...

Failure to seat belt

Hello,

Can a fixed fine for failing to wear seat belt in the year 2009, need to be declared? As per the page 09 of the Guide AN, all penalties must be disclosed.

Thanks,

Re: Criminal Conviction: Hope for me?

Sometimes HO documents really confuse: As per the form: "Fixed Penalty Notices (such as speeding or parking tickets) do not form part of a person’s criminal record and will not be considered in the caseworker’s assessment of character unless:" I think what it means, that you still disclose it, but t...

Thank you, 1: Do I need to write those speeding and safety belt fines? 2: Yes I have attempted every thing in my power to be a modal citizen. for example, when no one wanted to give me a job I registered myself as self employed, so not to do any "cash jobs".
