Naturalisation Application with a conviction

[Simz202025]

Hi all,

My brother unfortunately got a dui after he thought it was good to drive a short distance. It was really silly of him and rather an unfortunate situation.

He was given a 12 month Ban and was wondering if he would be able to apply after the Ban has been spent which will be next September. He has taken the drink drive course and taken extra rehabilitation precautions ie. attending alcohol awareness sessions.

Will his application be auto refused if he applies around October next year.

Many thanks

What is a dui? I would advise waiting a bit longer as drunk driving is a quite serious offence. Did he hurt anyone in the process?
