You will need to wait till your conviction is spent before you apply for ILR again, likely in 3 years time, which is why you have been granted leave to remain for another 3 years.

For citizenship, you will have to wait a lot longer before you will qualify under the tough good character requirements.

Members are not permitted to name solicitors on the public forum. To be honest, even a solicitor can't help you if you have a conviction. You will have to wait till you qualify again for ILR.

My CONVICTION will be SPENT after 29th SEPTEMBER 2016.
Do I still need to wait for three years time or I can apply after the date above?

A conviction is only spent after 3 years, not just over 12 months from the conviction. :?

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
