Ancestry to ILR - Criminal Conviction

Post by thrashunrealx » Mon Jan 08, 2018 11:02 pm

Hi all,

I’m in the process of applying for ILR from my Ancestry visa.

I have a criminal conviction (drink driving) from 2010 in Australia which was before I entered the U.K and whilst I’ve listed this in the relevant section, it doesn’t say anything about providing further documentation.

Should I be providing any sort of documentation for this? Booking form? National police certificate?

Any help is appreciated!

Worth noting - I had my license disqualified (which I now have back) and recieved a fine. No custodial sentence.

UK Ancestry to ILR

Post by thrashunrealx » Fri Mar 02, 2018 3:54 pm

Hi all,

I’m an Aussie in a U.K. Ancestry Visa. I have my ILR interview at the end of the month and I can see the form mentions a Police Registration Certificate. I have not registered with the police and can’t recall being told to when entering or renewing my visa in 2015.

Is police registration required for ancestry visas? Australians?

Thanks in advance!

You don't require one.

Also, kindly keep all questions on the same application in one topic. I have merged your topics to one (this one).

Hi all,

Thank you for your help so far. I’m finally going for my interview on Monday (yay!).

Do I need to take any photocopies of my passport pages, birth certificates etc? I have all the originals and necessary documentation to present on the day but I remember reading somewhere about someone photocopying all their passport pages?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Oh and also, do I need a cover letter if applying in person? Or HMRC job history?

Do I need to take any photocopies of my passport pages, birth certificates etc? I have all the originals and necessary documentation to present on the day but I remember reading somewhere about someone photocopying all their passport pages? Page 85 of the form stated you need to photocopy all documents in addition to providing the originals.

Any help would be much appreciated!

No cover letter required.

The form has asked for all the information they need.
