Will FPN ban my ILR application, please help

Hi guys,
I am very upset recently as I have 3 points and 140 pounds fine for speeding.
I took holidays in Wales in July 2009. During that time, I drive at 42mph on 30 mph road.
I was then send a notice letter couple of weeks later from Wales police station. The worse thing is I did not recognize this letter until Christmas. This is because I did not lived in my DVLA registered address every day, so did not check my mailbox very often.
I informed Wales police station immediately once I notice this letter and apologized this. Then I was told my case had been sent to Majestic count., so there was nothing I can do but waitâ€¦
In Feb 2010, I finally received a letter from Majestic count saying 3 points of FPN and 140 pounds. I posted my driving license and pay the findâ€¦.
This is the whole story. My situation is:
01/08/2006-01/08/2008 HSMP
21/08/2008-20/08/2011 Tier1(General).
Two employers in the last 4.5 years. Current permanent job.
So now I am planning to apply ILR around 5th July 2011 (28 days before 01/08/2011, am I right?). I should fall into the HSMP judicial review policy catalog..
I will definitely mention this FPN in the application form. But I am not sure If this will ban my application? Any comments and suggestions is appreciated!

Thanks vinny! I have looked at the document you linked to me.
Reading that, I suddenly recalled the other thing (sorry I did not mean to hide this).
In Nov 2010, (15 months after the first speeding in Wales and only 8 months after I got the FPN) I speeding again. Blame me please! It is a new road which limited at 40m/h. I was at 50 miles/h when I was caught by the new camera there.
Then I was asked to attend a speed awareness course instead of a find and penalty points. Now my question is, should I mentioned this on the application form? Does this negative impact my application?
Thanks in advance!

You only have to mention if you have a Criminal conviction and this excludes any spent convictions.
Its clear you dont have to mention it because it did not result in a criminal conviction.

FPN also is fine unless you have multiple FPNs. Your other offence for which you attended the course clearly did not result in any points nor a FPN and is thus discounted.

Hi guys,
I double checke the new form and it says:
Do you or any dependants who are applying with you have any criminal convictions in the UK or any other country (including traffic offences) or any civil judgments made against you?

Does speed awareness course means a kind of criminal conviction?
I guess not, am I right?

All,

There is a very simple answer to this.

The only way one gets a conviction or a criminal record is when a case is made against you, you go to the court or abstain from it, and the judge passes a ruling against you and CONVICTS you of the charges brought against you - this is the ONLY time you get CONVICTED and need to mention this in the application

If you are speeding and left with a warning, if you get an FPN, if you go for a course or anything else - none of these count as a CONVICTION - unless you had to go to court and had a judge look at the specific case.

Try to remember that to get a Conviction, you first need to be CONVICTED which is only done in a court if a judge upholds charges made against you - be it a driving conviction or a murder conviction. This is why the form specifically states Criminal Conviction and adds 'including traffic offences'

There is no harm in mentioning this in the form as they will not hold it against you - so whether you decide to mention it or not, as its not a CONVICTION but something done in lieu of it, it should not impact your ILR

Hi,
I have just got my ILR visa this week. Thanks all your guys support. This is really a helpful forum.
I asked case worker about my FPNs issue after have been informed that my case successed.
Two points I have been replied by case worker.
Firstly, FPN should be mentioned on the form.
Secondly, as I was unnder HSMP JR, this is not a problem. Case worker did not reply me if this would be a problem for Tier1 holder, but for my case she said nothing to worry about.

I have prepared lot of documents. But only the following documents were been asked and copied by case worker:
last three months bank statements.
last three months payslips.
support letter from emploer.
Registration certification from police station.
HSMP approval letter.

All bests.

mk357,
Honestly, I don't know. case worker asked this after I have shown her last three months' bank statements and payslip. After checked with me if she can keep the original letter, she keep it with the SEO form.
Guyintheuk,
Yes. I answered YES in the form.
