Hi casa

Thanks for you reply. Please could elaborate how will it impact citizenship. Can apply for citizenship after my conviction is spent?

Thanks

This depends on a number of factors, including:
Are you anticipating either a custodial or a suspended sentence?
Have you any previous convictions?

Also consider the following from the 'Good Character' conditions for BC:
"2.7 Offences Which Cause Serious Harm
Decision makers should take into account the harm caused by a particular offence when
assessing character, even if the punishment imposed would not normally lead to an
application being refused in line with Table 2.1. The decision maker should apply the
same approach on serious harm as that set out in the guidance on the General Grounds
for Refusal"
