Hi
Need some help from the experts about the citizenship application .
I got ilr in 2009 .and I unfortunelty convicted of a crime in 2014 and sentenced in September 2016 .
Received 16 months prison sentence suspended for 2 years and community service etc .
Also proceeds of crime act and conficigstion order or fined which they took about half of it what ever I had that time .

I know it looks bad ,any advice if I still can apply for citizenship ?

Thanks

Thanks for replying so quickly .

What about the poca ? Its says on the good caractor requirements that it's more likely to be refused if there is sufficient information that person benefited by the proceeds of crime . I was charged for
Fraud by false representation and handling stolen goods .
U think I should still apply now or should I wait for few more years ?
Or there is no chance they will grant me citizenship .

Thanks again for your help
