Applying Naturalisation after 4 years on ILR

Post by ilrmumbai » Tue Dec 11, 2018 4:22 pm

Hello All,

I am holding ILR since 2013. My younger daughter has BC, wife & elder one has Spouse/Dependent visa.
I would really appreciate if someone can clarify some of my questions to prepare my application:

I had some Penalty fines.
FPN (£75 Littering fine Feb 2017)- Paid in time
FPN (£100 Speeding fine Oct 2017)- Paid in time also 3 points on licence

I am planning to apply in Jan 2019. Would this cause any issue?
I have read on Home Office website that one should have less than two FPN which in other words is not more than one.

Another thing is Life In UK test. I had passed this back in 2013. I need to find this in my papers. But if I find this would it be sufficient or I need to attend again? I guess they don’t have expiry dates.

Also, it will be kind if you input anything else, I need?

Many thanks Guys. This forum is really awesome

Should be fine if you find the paperwork. Note you also need to meet the English requirement for citizenship.

Dear CR001,

Thank you for the prompt reply.

I have passed B1 English test from Trinity College this year. So Life in UK is not expired?

Also what about my fines? Do I need to mention them?

You need LIUK and it does not expire, so best find the paperwork.

You should mention fines. Others can comment more about this.

Dear CR001,

Thanks a million for clarification. Can someone please advise on fines? I guess when I apply my fines will be more than 1 year old.

Also which application is simple online or NCS? I don't want to send my original documents.

Many thanks

Not many, if any, councils are offering NCS. If you do find one, NCS is for paper form applications.

Otherwise you have to use the online form and the new system, links below.

Thanks so much CR001 as always you are awesome.

Last question. On application form Home Office asks to mentioned fines within last 1 year. By the time I will apply I will be more than 1 year. Do i need to mentioned them?

Life in UK TEST clarification

Post by ilrmumbai » Wed Jan 09, 2019 5:16 pm

Hi All,

I know this has been answered before on this forum. Just wanted to reconfirm If I can use my pass result of Life in UK Test which I passed in Feb 2013?

I am asking this again because I came to know that even though there is no validity on the letter it is only valid for 2 years from pass date.

I would really appreciate if someone could please clarify is dilemma for me :D

Many thanks

How did you "come to know"??

Liuk does NOT expire!!

You are confusing the 2 year expiry of the English test cert.

Almost applying Naturalisation- Confused & nervous about fines

Post by ilrmumbai » Tue Feb 05, 2019 10:25 am

Dear Gurus,

I am about to finish the application online. I am really panicking regarding fines I have. Below are my fines & dates:

03 Feb 2017- FPN for Littering cigarette but (£75 Paid on time)
22 Sept 2017- FPN for Speeding (3 points endorsed & £100 Paid on time)
21 Nov 2017- PCN for taking wrong turn (£65 paid on time)

My concern is that in Guidance HMRC mentioned that in last 3 years if you have more than 2 fines. I fine is in higher limit £200 and over you are most likely to be refused.

Can some one give their expert advise please :)

I think no one can give you a definite answer. The only thing you can do is disclose them and apply.

The three offences references does not seem to be relevant to you though.

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... idance.pdf

Receiving one does not form part of a person’s criminal record. A fixed penalty
notice will not normally result in refusal unless the person has failed to pay or has
unsuccessfully challenged the notice and there were subsequent criminal
proceedings resulting in a conviction. In such instances, they should be treated in
line with the sentence imposed by the court.
However, multiple fixed penalty notices over a short period of time could
demonstrate a disregard for the law and therefore demonstrate that someone is not
of good character.

With in regards of your matter as far as i know, if the penlties is private then you dont need to worry about it, but if it's gov related than you have to so in this situation.

03 Feb 2017- FPN for Littering cigarette but (£75 Paid on time) no need to as you paid it off
22 Sept 2017- FPN for Speeding (3 points endorsed & £100 Paid on time) make sure you declare that on application
21 Nov 2017- PCN for taking wrong turn (£65 paid on time) no need to as you paid it off already


best of luck :)

I don think that's correct. All need to be declared as per case worker guidance linked above.

Hi mrhud,

I thought exactly the same you advised. Not to mentioned ones I received from Council. Wrong turn & littering.

I will disclose speeding fine only.

@ hermanthegerman - thanks for your input.
