Naturalization Application (Caught shoplifting)
Posted: Wed Jul 14, 2021 11:47 pm
Hi,
I am applying for a British citizenship (naturalization). I would like some advice and guidance on applying for british citizenship.
I have indian passport,
I have ILR in my indian passport. I have had ILR since Aug. 2008, my this passport expired in 2012, and i renewed my passport from Birmingham indian counsulate. but my ILR still remained in my old passport. i did not transfer it to the new passport. The ILR i received was on the basis of me getting married to a british national. (we have been divorced since 2018).
i never applied for Biometric residance card / permit.
but now i would like to apply for british citizenship. However I have some questions before I apply...
I have had a few incidents in past.....
1st incident: i was caught shoplifting in november 2009. i was given a caution by police for this.
2nd incident: on 2nd july 2013, i was stopped on motorway as i was driving over the speed limit, when i stopped, traffic police also found my car's two tyres were not upto the standards and i had to get my tyres changed right there before i was allowed to go. After a few months, I received a letter that i will have to go to the court and I was given 3 points and £225 fine. which i paid off same day. This showed up on my DVLA record for 3-4 years, and then it was cleared.
DO I HAVE TO DECLARE THIS WHEN MAKING APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION.
3rd incident: and again in 22 jan 2017, the same sort of shoplifting incident happened and the police was called again this time. I was given a community resolution this time. (community resolution is basically a resolution to provide an opportunity for the police to deal with appropriate low level offences and offenders without recourse to formal criminal justice sanctions. This could include a simple apology, an offer of compensation or a promise to clear up any graffiti or criminal damage.)
I requested my disclosure of data from local Police and PNC in Feb 2021, this disclosure came back with both of the shoplifting incident reports.
Should i declare this incident when i apply for my naturalization...
4th incident: I read somewhere that i even have to declare all the traffic / driving incidents including any fines too.
in Dec. 2019, i accidentally enetered in BUS lane while riding my motorbike. I was sent a fine (i think it was £35 / £40).
DO I HAVE TO DECLARE THIS WHEN MAKING APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION.
there are alot of experienced people here, Can someone please tell me from their experience that how likely is it that i will get success in my application of British citizenship.
can you please get back to me with the answers, i will very much appreciate that.
