Criminal record anyone???
Just paid an agent and am now worried that were not gonna get our visas due to my partner having a criminal record :( 16 years ago.
I would like to know from any one whos going through the same thing or know anybody who had their visas with having a criminal record. Cheers |

Cheers There are people who have used this site who have had records for violence, drugs, burglary....they have all got their visas. the main thing is, its a lng time ago, and you can probably get character refernces to say how your partner has reformed. What is the advice from the agent - have you told him/her the details? Polly (criminal record checker since 1989!) |
Re: Criminal record anyone???
Hi thanks for the reply.My partner was done for gbh was fined £150.
Our agent knows all about it and we've requested our police record checks but it can take up to 40 days!!! Agent doesnt think it will be a problem as it was so long ago so hopefully everything will go smoothly,but you never know!! |

Re: Criminal record anyone???
The conviction will be spent by now and should not even appear in a CRB check. You should be fine, don't worry!!

Well according to our local police man, offences stay on your record (unless you were a minor),regardless of when the crime took place!! :(

They will stay on your record but will show up as spent. They would be unlikely to show up on a CRB check unless it was an ofence which was serious or could put say children at risk etc... Spent convictions are just that spent, so u should be fine. i work within probation now and have worked as paralegal/fee earner at crown court level, spents hold no water and should not cause u any probs. Notice i say should!! Can never be 100% on these things but wouldn't worry |
Re: Criminal record anyone???
Cheers you guys.Its good to hear reassuring positive attitude.
Im gonna stop worring now and look forward to the day we get our visas :D |

Cheers I got the visa and it is activated now, but was informed by the young lady at the time of confirming my passport was in the post to me, that "I needed to makesure, that I got into no more trouble". You should be ok.......good luck :) |
