Hello experts !!
I am eligible for 10 yrs ilr but I have traffic offences
1. Driving without insurance. (fine and 6 points)
2. Speeding fine through court (fine an 6 points)
which eventually led to 6 months ban because of totting up 12 points in 12months.
Now I spoke to these people and they say they are happy to take my case forward as they have represented such case before and can get me ilr with no issues...their fee will be £1100 for me and my wife's application
what should i do?? lol

Anyhow, if you have
unspent conviction(s) then you cannot apply for settlement until the rehabilitation period is over (
276B(iii)) - unless the solicitors you have sought advice from know how to circumvent the immigration rule in question.

when did i say I saw was born in UK?? lol
and thats what i tried to ask them if they will do it on no win no fee basis lol they said i have to pay whole amount in advance over the phone...
and well they said since i was eligible for ilr last year ( I came to uk in 2000 so last yr in october it was 10 yrs) and the offences dont reflect that I surely have a bad character they can get away with this as the main reason for this conviction law is to stop bad characters bein in uk...CONFUSED lol

There is nothing to laugh about it, you should have mentioned in your other post that you are asking on behalf of someone else.

When asking on behalf of someone else, simply state so. No problem!
Everyone is free to create a single ID to use the website.
But please do not assume multiple identities by posting different immigration histories / status under "I".
Helps everyone .... those seeking answers, and those offering them.

If you qualify then apply for Tier 1 extension as and when the time comes, and apply for settlement later on. Under current rules, there is no restriction on the number of PBS extensions one may apply for.
Glad that you got the point! Please follow it!

Read the relevant PBS policy guidance and you'll know for sure.
