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.

So admin starts a purely technical thread to notify users about system downtime, and it turns into an argument about immigration. Well done, everybody!

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.

Reminds me of a bare bones system I bought off ebay. A plazzy skeleton turned up.

Originally posted by stek View PostThinks have got tighter now, ILR you're ok with speeding offences provided it's one or two and not taken to court (and lost). For BC it's different, they are well strict - the 'Good Character' requirement. Citizenship is privilege not a right is the mantra.....

Originally posted by AtW View Post60 in 30 is obviously not ok. Such things obviously must be declared on form.
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.

Originally posted by stek View PostHe's going for ILR - asking if he should declare it - consensus is always yes, shows honesty if your not sure whether you should or shouldn't legally. Anything that doesn't go to court your ok with, this didn't despite the high speed. So looks ok for the guy but he's not accepting 60 in a 30 is daft!
