Undecalred FPN on ILR Application
Posted: Thu Aug 22, 2019 12:33 pm
Hello Group and gorgeous experts!
I am a newbie here, mainly posting for my cousin who is a Tier1 Entrepreneur Dependent filing ILR and hugely scared due to an undeclared FPN.
Long story short, she visited a high street store in 2016 where the sales girl packed dresses and included two with security tags as well by error. She only found out when she was going out of the store and the security alarms were triggered by the tags. She explained the situation but her English is not good and the store manager was a bully who called the police. She was kept there for 4 hours as the officer was not available. When he arrived, he was in hurry. He sympathised with her but told her he was in hurry and she needed to pay the £85 fine or go to the court. She was already so much distressed that she conceded to pay to get over the ordeal. She was photographed and probably her finger prints were taken as well. No court or further proceedings were involved and it was a one off incident.
Her husband sent his extension in the latter part of 2016. When they disclosed this situation to their solicitor, he brushed it off saying it was not worthy of reporting being an FPN. They got the extension and now filing the ILR. She is really scared as she has been reading about it and found that P&D/FPN is recordable/notifiable.
Her stay as Tier1 Entrepreneur dependent complete. There is nothing else apart from one refusal in 2011 under 322 (1A) when her application for switchover to Tier1 General was rejected. She joined her husband as a dependent from 2013 onward.
The following questions are haunting her where we need help from the experts:
1. Should she report this incident in her ILR form/cover letter now while two and half years have passed?
2. If she reports it now, will it tantamount as concealment of facts as it was not declared during the extension time.
Your kind help will be much appreciated.
Best, AjayX
