Tier 1 Entrepreneur to ILR Drink and Drive conviction

[ashontherun]

Hello members and zimba,

Please disregard my previous post.

I am currently on Tier 1 Entrepreneur Extension visa and due to apply for ILR in March 2019.

I have a drink and drive conviction.

Could you please advise if that is going to be a negative point and a ground for refusal>

Thanks

I will really appreciate that.

Hi Zimba,

Could you please help me?

Useful to state the date of conviction and date of offense if you expect anyone to offer advice

Drink driving is inexcusable and irresponsible so I'd expect the path forward to be exceptionally fraught.

Hi Zimba,

Please provide details on when you were convicted and what the verdict was.

Hi Zimba,

Thank you for your reply.

They have still not decided as the matter is still in court. If the charges go ahead, then I guess the verdict would be minimum 12 months disqualification from driving and a fine.

So, if it is the case, then should I apply for ILR or not? What are my options?

Please advise.

Thanks

If you are convicted of the offence at court, you will have to wait to apply for ILR. My understanding is that you will have to wait 24 months from date of conviction for it to be spent.

If you cannot apply for ILR, you can apply for 2nd extension of T1e. Make sure you have the maintenance and jobs like first extension

[zimba]

Assuming you get a non-custodial sentence, you cannot get ILR within 24 months of your court conviction. You need to apply to extend your Tier 1E visa in March 2019 until your conviction is spent. You also need to satisfy job creation again for your ILR

Drink driving is inexcusable and irresponsible so I'd expect the path forward to be exceptionally fraught.

Moreover, this is should be a relatively easy problem to avoid. Just don't drink and drive!

Thank you Zimba and moderators.

If I have to apply for second extension, I assume the same rules will apply. I have to:
1) Create 2 separate full-time jobs (cannot combine one or more jobs)
2) Investment of £50k

Please advise.

Thanks

1) Yes
2) You don't have to invest again - once you have been awarded points for investment, you can claim points for any future extensions without evidence

Thank you marcnath for your guidance.
