Guys, I'm in a dilemma.

My wife got stopped by the police in July this year, she's due to tomorrow for her citizenship.
The offence was :
- Driving on a provisional
- Not displaying L Plates
- Not on the car insurrance.
She received a court summons 3 days ago and had to plead guilty by post.

1 - Now we're really honestly worried as we don't know wether she'll meet the good character requirements (for my part : no), but is there anything we can say in the box provided to give her a chance?

She ticked the box where it says : Have you got pending convictions / or not yet tried in court. (3.18 i think)

2 - What are the chances of refusal?

3 - If she's refused, how long does she have to wait.

4 - Are those offences included in her criminal record? If yes, for how long?

5 - What are her options??

6 - Are there any cases where despite the above, someone got their application approved, or is it a no-go whatever happens?

Thanks for shedding some light onto this

Note : She fulfills FULLY all the other requirements. Is there any discretion despites this?

Regards

She is likely to fail, see, British Citizenship – Good Character Requirement FAQs, questions 2, 3 & 8.

1 - Now we're really honestly worried as we don't know wether she'll meet the good character requirements (for my part : no), but is there anything we can say in the box provided to give her a chance?

She will not meet the good character requirement. You can say what you want to say in the box. It will still be a refusal.


She ticked the box where it says : Have you got pending convictions / or not yet tried in court. (3.18 i think)

2 - What are the chances of refusal?

Hundred percent.

3 - If she's refused, how long does she have to wait.

Not IF, she WILL be refused.

4 - Are those offences included in her criminal record? If yes, for how long?

Yes they are included. For naturalisation purpose, they are active for 3 years from the date conviction is pronounced in the court.

5 - What are her options??

About what?

6 - Are there any cases where despite the above, someone got their application approved, or is it a no-go whatever happens?

Only if the person is stateless. Its not a no-go. She is free to apply. Just that her application will be refused, and application fee lost.

No.

Thanks Amber
