Uk criminal record by Helpneeded27
Has anyone recently obtained an nlv with a criminal record from when they were younger ?
@dazh0007 - potentially the initial application could be a rejection.. they stick very much to ‘no criminal record’ but get a good lawyer and get an appeal straight in. Oh and this is from personal experience and Edinburgh consulate who ... Read More

Sorry to butt in but unfortunately the rehabilitation of offenders act is purely for being allowed to work in the UK and is not used for immigration. The ACRO is the official document which has different step down’ rules for whether a crime is ... Read More
