Ideas For Showing Good Character

Due to a motoring offence I want to prove my good character in the ILR application. I am thinking of ways to do that. Anyone has any ideas how to show good character? For example, one thing I can think of is doing some volunteer work.

Applying for the Met with a possible motoring conviction :roll:

Make sure you do not fall under the general grounds for refusal, keep out of trouble and satisfy the requirements. That's your best option.

I suggest you to make a letter from your solicitors that you do not fall under the general ground for refusal ,you might know criminality threshold.If you do not fall under this criteria , a solicitors letter and please prepare your own self declaration letter showing that you are aware of offences and make sure you won't repeat them again.You should support your claim with your efforts.Like you studied about rules,you started a self help program,If it is because of alcohol and drugs you should show what sorts of remedies have you taken etc....Like why the offences have occurred and what remedies have you taken to resolve that.A past plus driving test could help.If needed make some character reference letters from your community people.Or say I will provide character reference letters from community people if needed.that would really help.
I hope you understand my point.
That would be sufficient.

You know volunteering here is subject to CRB checking so may not be reliable fin your case.

Thanks everyone.
Amber and londener, I do fall under general grounds for refusal. There will still be five months before I complete my unspent conviction at the time I'll apply. I fully understand that I should wait till those five months are complete before applying. Despite that I still want to give it a try.

Do you have further suggestions now that you know the context? Thanks in advance!
