Re: J1 Visa
Its a Motoring offence (in the UK) not a Criminal one. Unless you are up in court on another charge at the same time it is highly unlikely to appear on the Police National Computer files.- and hence the result of the PNC check is No Trace.
However, as stated by others, it IS a conviction.I you are asked for an official record you would need to approach either the court or DVLA (or whatever they call themselves this week). A Subject Access check will also come back No Trace.

Furthermore does the issue of the timing of the offence relate to if a visa is issued or not?
The offence itself was committed in 2014, whilst the points were handed on 2015. Does that make me negligible to apply for a visa due to the time scale?
Thank you

Re: J1 Visa
I have letters such as the court summons and the letter confirming points on my license. Would those be acceptable?

Re: J1 Visa
Your level of anxiety makes it sound like there's more to the story than you're saying. If you have simply got a motoring offence and points on your license as you say then you have nothing to worry about. As has been said that's a civil offence and not a crime. Apply for the visa and stop worrying about it!
. I can't apply yet till the university in the USA send me the form to confirm sponsorship, so i'm sat here twiddling my thumbs basically.

Re: J1 Visa
I'm not sure if one is allowed to double post or to post again after a certain time period. However I would like to tell everyone that my visa application was successful and that I have it finally printed in my passport. Thank you everyone for helping me through the process. Also, one thing the officer told me was that I had no ineligibilities. Does that mean that assuming everything stays the same if I ever applied for another visa I wouldn't have to tick the "commited crimes" checkbox or I just need to follow the same process that I did now, in getting an ACPO certificate and then showing it to the officer.
Again thank you everyone who posted here.

Re: J1 Visa
Good.
It means no such thing. It means only that you aren't ineligible to get a visa. The process, in the future, should be same as it was this time.
