bottom line, if your wife gets a visa, that's it, don't worry about anything else, speaking from practice, NOONE EVER asks whether the visa was issued and applicant still eligible. No letter etc, visa is enough, don't overcomplicate. A visa is not enough to travel with...... Speaking from previous ...

Legally, if you are travelling with your wife you don't need a visa. As you have RC and it doesn't state that it was granted following RoR, this should be good enough to travel visa free when travelling with your wife. Dont u think an attentive IO would notice that marriage certificate is dated Jul...

Those with PR can apply for naturalisation a year after they automatically acquired PR (with additional docs to prove entitlement) or a year after date on PR. The only exemption to the 1-year waiting rule applies to spouses of British citizens, which u r not, right?

I think, the FPN becomes spent after 5 years, that's y all the insurance companies ask if u had any convictions in last 5 years. So wait till it's 5 years since ur fpn from 2007 and only then declare the 2012 fpn when applying.

Dont confuse a PCN (penalty charge notice) issued by councils for parking/bus lane contraventions on PUBLIC ROADS, with FPNs issued by police for speeding/insurance/red route etc contraventions. FPNs must be declared, PCNs do not, so assuming your 2011-2012 FPNs are actually PCNs then no need to dec...
