If things go wrong and you are fined, you will get a FPN. FPN alone is not a criminal conviction though. But if a FPN ends up in court, it can lead to a criminal conviction. I am not sure how stringent airport checks are. It is up to you if you want to take the risk. Best thing will be to follow the law.

You will also have to declare this trip in your AN application and provide a reason for it when you apply for AN in due course.

but flights going normal from airport it means police or airport security not asking anything. my question is if i mention this in citizenship application will they HOME OFFICE make issue of this trip coz it has been made in TIER 4 RESTRICTIONS

Just to give you an insight... I got find twice at the airport. Once leaving (it was just before boarding) and then when I arrived. Second time it was double amount. I might challenge the second fine at court. The officer said it's irrelevant that it's the same trip.

The police officer asked everybody to show proof of the purpose of their flight. The Stupid are flying because it's still cheaper for them to operate than pay out for flights cancelled at short notice.

Also note, if FPN is taken to court i.e. you challenge and loose the case, it will result in a criminal conviction if fine is imposed by the court. This will mean that your AN application maybe refused for next 3 years from date of conviction.

I'm already approved so it doesn't matter if I lose the case. But I won't lose it. But the OP should be mindful that they really do checks and they were really there by all of the boarding gates. And the same on return. Let my PCNs speak for themselves, the chances of getting caught both outbound and inbound are quite realistic.

You only become British when you attend the ceremony. Approval alone is immaterial. If your circumstances change legally you have to notify HO. A criminal conviction can result in refusal for 3 years OR if you are caught for deception- a ban of 10 years. Even it HO knows about deception later in the course, your BC can be revoked.

Yes, I'm clear about that. But with all this massive backlog the HO are trying to clear I don't think they have capacity to do PNC checks before posting the certificate to the council.

Even later on if deception is flagged or criminal conviction comes to HO’s knowledge, your British Citizenship can be revoked with potential ban, even if you have attended your ceremony. Better to stick with the Nationality laws and abide by them.
