Hi all, I recently applied for my family to visit me in the UK (british citizenship granted earlier this year) we filled in all forms, however, the clearance was refused because they felt that my family did not have sufficient ties to their home country. We now want to re apply and not appeal, as th...

congratulations. I also have LC20, £30 fine and 3 points, I sent my applicaiton off in middle of Feb but still waiting for response, although HO have returned all my documents. Congratulations again, hopefully I will get good news soon!

Hi all, I sent off my application for naturalisation in the middle of february. last week I recieved a letter enclosed with my documents but no decision. The letter stated that these were being returned for my convenience and they may need them back. It then went on to say that my case would now be ...

It achieved royal assent on the 26th April....is to be implemented by April 2013. The breaking the cycle green paper has technically been included. Rehabilitation of offenders Act will probably now be changed etc!

This Act has been passed now and needs to be in force by next April. Does this include changes to rehabilitation periods for those applying for naturalization as it does for British Citizens?

Hi, I am going to apply for Naturalisation tommorrow, and have filled in the form. In a recent post I spoke about a conviction I have for LC20. Now, the fine was orignally £175 but was reduced to £30 ( I did not appeal, I just went to the court as I had not recieved the summons as they had sent it t...

Hi, the fine was reduced to £30, which is a relatively small fine, so there could be hope do you think?

I think its only fair! I have had to pay £1000s in visa fees (in person!) for my husband to stay here with me and i'm british...dont see why someone who lives here who isnt shouldnt have to pay for their spouse to settle with them!!

An fpn cannot be issued in court, so must be a court order!

Thanks, it was a court fine..so 5 year rehabilitation. seems like a long time. Thanks for your help.

Thanks, sorry I could not find it. I have now seen how to find old posts. Many thanks for adding it into this one.

Do you think that this is going to have an effect on my application?

Hi all, I was 'caught' driving alone on my provisional licence a few months ago. (I did not hurt anyone/was doing nothing wrong, I was pulled over for no reason). I did not hear anything, until a few days ago when I got a letter from the DVLA telling me to send my licence back. I have done this, I h...

It was undercover police....

I just want to know how a conviction/sanction like this could affect naturalisation...not wether or not i shall get prosecuted for it.

I am unsure which problem I was 'caught' under. I believe it was driving without l plates. I did have insurance (but only with someone with me which I did not know!). They did just take my car and drove me home. I did not pick it up, as could not afford to do so (that was my wifes decision). I didnt...

I have indefinate leave to remain.

I was running late for an appointment and I decided to drive even though I only had a provisional. I was pulled over, and they asked me if I had a licence, I was honest and said no. (I am unsure why I was pulled over? Maybe they could see I was not the owner of the car?) the car was my wifes (britis...

incident happened 2 months ago, but still heard nothing about it.

I think I can apply around february time.

I was caught driving without a licence as I was in a hurry, I didnt hurt anyone or was I speeding etc.

I still have not heard about any possible sanctions, so am getting worried about wether this will affect my naturlaisation application?

Many thanks!

Thankyou very much for your informative post there. I guess the home office needs to make money somehow. Still find it a bit unfair as I'm sure there would be uproar if it was the other way round! With regards to my partner having ILR which means there are now no restrictions placed, is that the sam...

Yes, as I am a British person (born and raised) I have to pay for my partner to settle here with me, however if I was an eu national settled in Britain it would be free for my partner to settle here with me. I was wondering why this was, it doesn't seem very fair.

Hi all, This is my first post, and just wondered if anyone could help me. I am a british citizen, married to a Non-EU national who has been granted ILR a year ago. I am looking for information as to why as a I am a british citizen we had to pay firstly for a certificate of approval, followed by a fe...
