    In my time that would not be a factor for ILR as long as it's declared on form - the guidance was saying that in cases when custodial sentence was result of court action THEN it would be up to Home Office to decide IF to grant ILR or not.

    Pretty crazy system where some known or suspect terrorists can't be kicked out of country, yet somebody on work visa after many years is denied ILR because of traffic offense that the person was punished for already.

    Fooking Tories instead of fixing the system pick up on people who waited for 5 years and honestly declared some non-prison traffic offense which they got fully punished for. If somebody had 3+ motoring offenses then maybe it should be a factor, but that should be clearly explained in guidance - very stupid thing in the first place since those points clear off pretty quickly.

    That may be too subtle for some on here.

    My advice to them, keep trying you'll get it eventually.

    They should be clear in the guidance about disqualifying factors - they are just trying to fook people over who worked for many years.

    Now if they did not pay tax then it's totally different matter - no excuses there.

    Naturally Home Office relies on the fact that taking legal action in UK is crazy expensive and those people won't be able to do it.

    It all sounds bull really for one off traffic offenses that did not have prison terms for the offense.

    I had clear license when I applied for mine and still do, but if they'd rejected ILR on the basis of those points then I'd most likely have appeal and if failed to sue them - previous guidance was that only jail sentence would have adverse effect - application guidance should be clear on the matter of which offenses not acceptable before somebody pays them hefty fee for application.
