ILR:will unspent conviction older than 2 years be a problem?

[user_name]

Hi sushdmehta and all,

I received a sentence from Magistrates court on Aug-2011 for driving without insurance. The sentence was: fine about £500 and 6 points. No custodial sentence.

I guess the spent period for my sentence is 5 years as per the rehabilitation act.

I am due to apply for ILR in Nov-2013 as I will be finishing 5 years.
But I am under an impression that I will not get ILR due to the unspent conviction I have.

Looking at the information given at http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=120784, I understand the unspent conviction clause is removed. It will be a big relief to me if this is the case.

Please could you shed some light on this.

I am looking forward to hear from you.

Many Thanks.

I had Fixed Penalty Notice IN10 driving without insurance, £200 Fine, 6 Points on my licence in April 2011 and got ILR in February 2012 without any problem. So don't worry and apply your ILR. Good luck.
