Hi all, I am in the middle of filling out a set(m) form, just wondering when declaring a conviction do I have to explain in detail what took place on the day or only mention what type of conviction it was?

Hi smoothturbo
To the best of my knowledge it clearly says on the ILR forms that if you have any convictions you have to give an honest and a brieft detail about it just mentioning the conviction isn't enough in this case I am affraid.
Lets face it if you got a conviction and then you've to explain about it other wise it'll raise more and more and more questions which is not good I believe just be honest about it that's all I can advice you.
Good luck for your ILR.

thank u chaps..I was just wondering why one would need to explain it all again when its already been dealt with in court. Can I just ak though, do UKBA have the right to refuse the application even though there are no unspent convictions?

Convictions spent already don't need to be declared.

Hi
As mentioned in the previour reply there's no need to mention any spent conviction no matter what it was for.
UKBA has got all the rights to refuse your ILR application on any unspent conictions they are not really interested in knowing any spent convictions as you've just mentioned your self that its already been dealt by the court so that's out of question for UKBA.
Hope this will answer your question.
