Any help would be greatly appriciated.
You are welcome mate, we are all here to share our experience and help each other.
The UKBA will not even start processing your application until your payment is cleared, if you are paying by credit/debit card, you can always ring your bank to check when the payment has been authorised even before it is posted to your account.
Don’t worry too much about the photocopies, the UKBA makes provisions to sending additional documents to support your application
after your have sent your application. If I was you, I would not post the photocopies before I seek guidance from them, the number you need is
0870 606 7766 as they might just tell you not to bother with photocopies if you included your originals.
As for your traffic offence, I am not sure to tell you the truth, I remember reading on about it earlier and all I remember vaguely is that Fixed Penalty points are not classified as criminal convictions as long as one accepts them without being endorsed by a court of law or something along those lines. However, as you are saying your case is you are attending a court hearing so I am not sure what that counts under. There was a special number that I rang before to ask about criminality criteria but I cannot find it anywhere I am afraid. Try asking the guys on the same number tomorrow and they might give you that separate number to speak to. I will also try and dig out the number for you and post it here if I manage to locate it.
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it...
