The reason for your refusal is Dishonesty in relation to public funds. Did you provide your explanation in covering letter when applied? The waiting period is 5 years for the community sentence under the Rehabilatation Act 1974. Probably you need to wait for 5 years from the date of sentence. I am not sure, someone expert may answer your question.

[f2k]

have a look at the Annex D on page 29. It is 5 years from the time of conviction

Did you declare your conviction when you applied for BC?
or Did UKBA found out without you telling them about it?

no i didnt tell them they find out by themself

[mrlookforward]

Your sentence will be spent 5 years from the date of conviction. Have you checked if they have barred you from applying for next 10 years?

i have not been barred so that fine

Thats good then. Make sure that this time you do not apply before your sentence is spent. I said 2012, because I thought you got convicted in court in 2007. But probably you got convicted sometimes in 2008. Just make sure you do not apply until 5 years after the date of conviction.
God, cant believe they find out everything, lol.

i know they fine everything and the sad part was i paid 720 for it a day after they took it out in my bank they wrote to and say they refuse it guess what they refund me 80pound see how them people are thiefs
lol
thanks for your advise

1) Did you say that a day after they took the money they wrote you a letter of refusal??

If so they must have done their checks real quick.

2) Did you request the refund then??...or did they put it back into the account automatically and did the date of refund coincide with the refusal date.

I think it will be interesting to know the above

[mrlookforward]

I will give you a reply until OP replies to your query.

First thing done on application (after taking the payment) is various checks including PNC. PNC check takes them one second to do. Just click the mouse and its done.

Within the application fees there are two components. So the current fees of £ 735 includes 80 pounds for ceremoney and the rest is UKBA fees. If your application is refused you get your 80 pounds back.

Thanks. What i was wondering was the following scenario:

Having called UKBA and being told that a decision has been made and that you would receive the letter via post wihin a week or two, do you think that they would refund the £80 very soon after a refusal? Its really more a question of when does one get their refund.

If the above is the case one can check their bank statement to know whether they have been approved or rejected in the time leading up to when they receive their letter.

Ofcourse if the refund occurs at a much latter date, the logic falls apart

[mrlookforward]

Well, I do not agree that human brain should be used to ponder over some un-necessary illogical thinking and do un-necessary research on something which doesnt matter. If they have made a decision then they have made a decision. If you get the letter today or you get the letter after one month doesnt make a difference. If you have been granted then you have been granted, if you have been refused then you have been refused.

[NiiKpani]

thanks..although what matters (or not) is a matter of opinion or perspective and not a fact. thanks though..you do have some good insight

[mrlookforward]

I remember reading your predicament in your other posts. Wish you good luck.
