As the non-custodial sentence (I assume) was more than 3 years ago this would not be an automatic refusal. However, as the offence was one of recklessness it could still warrant a refusal at the discretion of the caseworker. Providing there has been no further criminality I would expect the applicant to succeed.

Thank you for your swift respond, the thing is i had another conviction 6 years ago but not one of recklessness , i received fine of £500. also what do you think if my wife become British in October and my two kids have already British Citizen. the case worker will not consider it differently ??

many Thanks

What was the offence 6 years ago?

I assume both you are your wife are planning on applying for naturalisation? Having your family being British should not have a bearing on your application as you must meet the Good Character requirement alone.

The offence was Possess Criminal Property, The question is how they consider it if it was almost 7 years ago (mistake of young age )?? and since then iI good citizen,

Again the other offence is perhaps a dishonesty offence. However, given the time period since conviction I would not expect a refusal. Both offences should be declared.
