http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/criminality_threshold_question Refer to the above link. My case is similar to yours, my case went to court on 17th Nov 2007 and I got my ILR on 21st Nov 2012. I did not declare it as suggested by UKBA case worker in the above link and 5 years were over under reh...

Hi, The agent letter lists all the payment made to your company So in table format, it shows: 1) Date, 2) Invoice number (this matches accountant invoice letter) 3) Total (excluding VAT) 4) Vat & 5) Total Invoice amount. Once you have this letter, case worker may save his time calling agent if he/sh...

ILR Granted for me and my wife on 21st November at Sheffield PEO. I have been following this forum for more than a year now and for the amount of knowledge that I have gained – I would like to give a big thanks to all members and moderators. Our appointment was at 9:00, we reached at 8:30 and in a m...

Did the case worker ask about your expenses?? I have 8000GBP expenses - all legitimate but I did not think that I need to prepare any documents to prove how I made it. I thought its HMRC's job to ask about expenses, but now I'll be prepared.

Dear Friends, I am having PEO appointment at Sheffied in November for ILR. I have one question: Being a Director of a Ltd company, I take salary via dividends and director fees. My accountant has said that according to HMRC, I am classed as employee of my company and will only pay Class 1 National i...

Sorry, I thought you are applying for ILR. For Tier 1 extension, you should be OK.

http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/criminality_threshold_question?post_redirect=1#describe_state_form_1 Mine is similar to your case, however, I just paid the fine rather than settling outside the court. Please refer to UKBA response. The above link gives reply from UKBA which says that its OK if...

Hi all, Finally, I got reply from UKBA. Please find the following link which details my question and reply from UKBA. I had a fine of 189.17 from HMCS Loughborough (Magistrate court) and asked UKBA if I should worry about it if I have no unspent concitions on Disclosure Scotland and a clean subject ...

Thats good then
I dont have to worry for my extension.

Then the question is - if you loose the case in court and if the court tell you to pay xyz GBP - is this deemed to be a fine from court, spent after 5 years under Rehabitation of Offender's Act? I think its not, as its your insurance company (and not you) who'll pay for the damage but still its good...

I entered Tier 1 (HSMP) on August 2007, eligible for ILR on August 2012. However, I have a non-recordable magistrate court fine for not paying road tax in November 2007. Therefore, I have decided to make one more extension under Tier 1 and apply for ILR after November 2012. My question is: Can I app...

Best luck mate, Things are very confusing - ILR should have a standard set of rules and should not be dependent on case workers. Technically, a fine from court will be spent after 5 years. Now if there are different categories of fine (i.e. driving on international licence, getting fine from court i...

1) just call DVLA

2) If conviction date is before 5 years of applying, you are OK not mentioning but nothing wrong in mentioning as they cant decline yr ILR if there's nothign serious about the offense.

I was told to continue in this link by moderator. I have just found a case where even a clean disclosure scotland resulted into ILR refusal http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=44240&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 I was in an impression that if you have a clean SAR and clean disclosure...

Sorry for drifting away from the topic but is following case an only exception getting ILR rejected though having clean disclosure scotland? http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=44240&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Obviously all cases are different and it depends on the case worker but...

I looked at each and every post on this forum. Took me 5 to 6 hours. I have just found a case where even a clean disclosure scotland resulted into ILR refusal http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=44240&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 I was in an impression that if you have a clean SAR a...

Sarath, your case seems to be straight
Forward as no court is involved - Acc to md it's not a criminal conviction . Just go through other pages of this forum and u'll get an idea.

Spoke with NACRO and he said UKBA does not have access to police local computers. so if a standard disclosure scotland is clean, you dont have to worry. UKBA only checks police national computer. They wont object any non-recordable offenses such as not paid road tax. He said to me to relax and apply...

Could some one help?? I called UKBA and some one said that criminal threshold applies for Tier 1 (general) extensions as well? however following page says it doesn't:. http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=88652 Can any one confirm that Tier 1 (general) is not affected if you have a unspe...

Mate,

I am v tensed now. Going to have a bad weekend.

Do you have a link (UKBA link) which says that criminal threshold is only for settlement and citizenship and not for Tier 1 visas??

That link will be life saver.

Called UKBA. She said that if you have unspent convictions, you cannot apply untill its spent. Thats very obvious answer. I asked can I apply for an extension. She said that you cannot if the conviction is unspent. I am tensed now. Basically I cannot apply for Tier 1 extension or an ILR because of t...
