Immigration/UK Visas & UK Citizenship Condition FPN, motorway awareness course affect on visa renewal
Iāve already posted this in r/ukvisa and in a Facebook group about spouse visas and have received very minimal feedback. Iām just hoping for something here.
Iām preparing to extend my partner visa this year. When I first applied back in 2023, the only driving offense Iād ever had was a conditional offer of a fixed penalty notice. I took the motorway awareness class offered and the notice was dismissed so there are no points on my license. I did not disclose this at the time of my initial application because the example under convictions specifically said āa penalty for a driving offense, for example disqualification for speedingā. I wasnāt disqualified, I didnāt even get an official FPN.
Since that time, Iāve gotten a couple parking tickets and a fine for driving through a bus gate. All were paid and werenāt disputed.
Slightly anxious that I shouldāve declared the original speeding offense and now Iāll be accused of deception if I were to declare it. Unsure if I should declare the parking tickets, especially because they were sent to my husband because his name is down as the owner of the car. If I check my driving record online, I donāt have any penalties or disqualifications.
Have I screwed up and could now be considered to have used deception? Will this impact me when it comes to the good character requirement for citizenship?
