Settled status and criminal conviction

Post by Soniaaa » Mon Jul 29, 2019 3:45 pm

Hi please help I need more info I came to UK from Poland in 2007 In 2010 and 2011 I was sentenced for drink driving :( Please dont judge me :evil: I was going through violent relationships which caused my brain get lost
It was 3 times and from the last one I get Electronic Monitoring for 12 months On my driving licence I only can see the last one which is spend already in 2017
Am I still required to disclose this when I'm applying for a status and what is my chance to get one?
Can I be refused to grant the status and deported?
I've kids here who are going to schools
I haven't done anything apart from what I did in a past
Is there anyone who can help me?

Refer to:
https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-ci ... d-to-apply

Quote from the web site:

If you have criminal convictions
If you’re 18 or over, the Home Office will check you have not committed serious or repeated crimes, and that you do not pose a security threat.
You’ll be asked to declare convictions that appear in your criminal record in the UK or overseas.
You do not need to declare any of the following:
convictions that do not need to be disclosed (‘spent convictions’)
warnings (‘cautions’)
alternatives to prosecution, for example speeding fines
You’ll also be checked against the UK’s crime databases.
You’ll still be eligible for settled or pre-settled status if you’ve only been convicted of a minor crime.
You may still get settled or pre-settled status even if you have other convictions. This will be decided on a case-by-case basis.
If you’ve been to prison, you usually need 5 years’ continuous residence from the day you were released to be considered for settled status.

As per guidance, if it's spent (no longer listed) then no need to declare.
