So I applied for British citizenship earlier this year. I had a caution on my record over ten years ago and recently got a community resolution order earlier this year.
Now I'm confused because it is in the Good character book released in January 2019
Sentence-based thresholds: An applicant will usually be refused if they have received a non-custodial sentence or another out-of-court disposal that is recorded on
their criminal record which occurred in the three years prior to the date of application.
but it also says A community resolution is used for less serious offences or anti-social behaviour. It is a tool which enables the police to make decisions about how to deal more proportionately with lower level crime and is primarily aimed at first time offenders where genuine remorse has been expressed and where the victim has agreed that they do not want the police to take more formal action. In establishing whether the good character requirement is met, you must consider the seriousness of the offence and whether it was a first-time offence.
That's the part I'm seriously confused!! So my question is my application going to be rejected or they are going to consider it? And what's likely hood of me getting an approval to become a British Citizen if I have no convictons apart from the caution I had over 10 years ago?
I need an enhanced drb check for work and my community resolution does not effect my work.

My offence dates back to 2009: possession of a class B substance (caution) I was under 18.
In 2019: community resolution: for grabbing an individual after an argument that I had. I was advised that it was not a caution or anything of that nature and would not affect my work.
Yes the home office is aware.

thats not really very bad, don't worry as long as you have made HO aware of it you will be fine.
