I mean just general minor offences, e.g. you have hit someone elses vehicle but no one has injured and you handed them your insurance...etc.

No it does not affect it unless its one with a criminal background like drink driving, dangerous driving, failing to follow highway codes.. no insurance, fake blue badge, but parking tickets and speed fines like 1 or 2 miles over the legal limit will not affect you. If you read the higway code you will get an idea which ones carry criminal offence.

Hi all,
I recently had to pay a fixed penalty notice for driving without MOT. Will that affect my Tier 1 (G) Visa extension/ILR in anyway?
My case is similar to the one on this post

Only fixed penalty issued by courts matters,nothing else.Only courts fines even if its 1 pound,but we have to wait what UKBA do,as many have moroting convictions by court with fine.For minor offences sometime court issue fine,so now if they enforced on ILR than anyone with court foine have too wait for 5 years.
Hoope so Ukba don't include motoring offences.

You mean wait for 5 more years for ILR after the initial required 5 years in UK? So in all if there is a court conviction, the person would have to wait for 5 + 5 years?

Your criminal record

We will carry out criminal record checks on all applications from people aged 10 and over. You must also provide details of all civil proceedings which have resulted in a court order being made against you. You must give details of all unspent criminal convictions. This includes road traffic offences but not fixed penalty notices (such as speeding or parking ickets) unless they were given in court. You must include all drink-driving offences. An explanation of unspent convictions is given below. If you have an unspent conviction, your application for citizenship is unlikely to be successful. You should wait until the end of your rehabilitation period before applying.

What is an unspent conviction?

If you have been convicted of a criminal offence you must declare your unspent convictions but do not need to declare ones that are spent. A conviction becomes spent after a certain period of time has passed (we call this the rehabilitation period). The length of time it takes for a conviction to become spent will depend on your sentence. It starts from the date on which you are convicted. The period may be shorter if you were aged under 18 at the time of your conviction. If you have been sentenced to more than 30 months in prison for a single offence, this can never become spent. Your application for citizenship is therefore unlikely to be successful. If you have been convicted of a criminal offence but the rehabilitation period has passed by the time you make your application you do not need to provide details of the conviction on your application form. If you were convicted of a further offence during the rehabilitation period of your original conviction, the rehabilitation period for your original conviction may be extended. If you have been convicted of a criminal offence and the spent period has not passed you must include details of the conviction on your application form. If the conviction is unspent at the time of your application, it is unlikely that your application will be successful. For further guidance on the rehabilitation period, please see Guide AN. Information on how a conviction becomes spent, and a chart providing examples of rehabilitation periods for various sentences, can be found in the Good Character section of this guide. Offences for which you may go to court or are awaiting a hearing in court You must provide details of any offence for which you may go to court for or are awaiting a hearing in court. This includes any offences for which you have been arrested and are waiting to hear if you will be formally charged. If you are living in Scotland you must provide details of any recent civil penalties.
If are arrested or charged with an offence after you have made your application you must let us know.

Yes have to wait for 10 years if u get 1 fine by court,Its for ILR I don't think so for extensions also they include,If u get fine of speeding by court than have to wait for 5 years,as after 5 years its spent,Looks to be too much I am hopefull they don't include minor offences in it,but never know.

the criminal record for traffic offences wil affect your application for citizenship, but will it affect the extension of a tier 1 general visa?

URGENT HELP

Post by maximus321 » Thu Oct 20, 2011 8:12 pm

Hi.
I have been asked to come to court for an offence that I did not commit. It was regarding me not declaring that I have sold my car (which eventually was involved in a traffic offence) I am on Tier 1 (part 1) and due for an extension next year.
I have appealed not guilty against the court as I believe that I should get the justice as I sold the car in February and the offence was committed in April. I have written 2-3 times to DVLA informing about this.

Kindly advice. I am really worried and upset.

Thanks

Karan
