Chris&Mel Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I, at some point will have to declare the one conviction i have and was wondering if it would affect my chances of gaining my visa. Back in the summer of 2004 i recieved an on the spot fine, complete with a public order conviction, from taking a leak in a back alley. Obviously not anything too serious as im sure a great number of people at some point have done the same but i was'nt fortunate enough to get away with it! Can anybody shed any light on this conviction as i dont known how deeply this could affect my chances of getting my visa application approved.

Guest Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 No, it won't make any difference. A year in prison is where they draw a line in the sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest30085 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 As far as Im aware it is only if you have received a custodial sentence of 12 months or more that will prevent you gaining a visa. Although yours is a bit of a cheeky crime :laugh: I do not think you need to worry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Ropey HOFF Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I would also add................. ALWAYS be upfront about things like this, make sure you submit any conviction on your application form. best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest31881 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 This will show up on your police check, so as Hoff said be upfront about it. Also explain it was a one off incident and it will not happen again. They are normally OK about crimes of this kind and as already said they get more particular with sentences over 12 months. Just be honest with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadas Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 A former employee of mine emigrated to New Zealand a couple of years ago and he had done a similar offence when he was in the Army. Unfortunately, the arresting officer decided to process it as exposing himself therefore it was classed as a sex crime on his PCC.........took a bit of sorting that one!!

newjez Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I got done for this in Norwich once. I tried to explain to the officer that I couldn't actually go, despite wanting to. So technically, all he could do me for was attempted urinating in public. He wasn't overly impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
