Hi All,
First want to thank you for all the advice I received over the last few years. I am hoping I can get some guidance on the "Citizenship - English language requirements".
I have obtained my ILR after Oct 28, 2013 which should be sufficient for my English language requirement as per few posts. Can some one please confirm this?
I have used UK NARIC degree comparison letter and my original transcript which said my degree was taught in English during my ILR application. Can I still use these documents to fulfil the English language requirement in case point mentioned in above para is wrong.
Regards
Sri

Good character requirements - FPNs

Hi All,
I drive a company car and I was informed by my company that they received two motoring offence details for me in July and August. I have not seen the details of these offences. They are in the process of redirecting both to me so I can pay the fine or accept points.
One is FPN for stopping at a box junction. The other is a speeding offence. Can you confirm if I should wait for 12 months before applying for citizenship?
Since these have not reached me officially, can I just go ahead and submit the application next week?

Just a small clarification, the first offence is PCN and not FPN.

Hi,
Just to summarize my case with more details. My two recent offences are - First offence is a PCN and I have seen a copy of this. I am waiting for Fulham council to reissue the notice directly to me as requested by my company.
The other offence is a speeding offence which I have not seen yet. It could be a FPN or NIP which offers a speed awareness course. Again I am waiting for a copy of this from Surrey Police.
In this scenario, should I declare first offence which is PCN? Also should I declare second offence with current details in my application?
Do you think these two offences would cause a problem for my application? I have read a lot of posts about this and I understand that PCNs do not have to be declared, but can some one confirm if this still valid under current rules?
Regards
