ok guys, i am really really sad

my husband got a letter from the embassy last Friday asking for some clarification on his UK police certificate. There were two driving offences on it...they were actually so minor...they were both from the same day, one for not stopping right away when he was stopped, and the other says just minor traffic offence...both these were from the same date, same incident.
because of a misunderstanding in the police's part, they seized the car, coz their system did not show the renewed insurance on his car. so the next day wen my husband went and explained to them how his insurance was active, they apologized and gave the car back, he dint even have to pay the fines, becoz it was not his fault. So this was the incident.

But in the police certificate he got, it said that he was "pending prosecution" for the two traffice offenses. we dint really care too much about it coz we knew they never did anything about it and this about 3 years ago.

so now in the letter that the embassy sent us...it says in the first line, i have completed the review of ur case. I need to fully understand the final disposition of the above charges and evidence of it.

also it said, if this was still pending at the time u submitted the application, u have to explain to us why u did not declare this in the application

im soooooo freaked out....i have no idea how to prove this....coz we have no document whatsoever coz the police never really did anything about it. he even got his uk licence 10 days after that incident and it was no problem. and im sooo scared they might say we misrepresented facts by not declaring about this...we didnt declare it coz he was never charged or convicted or informed anything about this "prosecution"

if u guys know of any relevant info or any other thread in this forum like mine, let me know.

Frust, hang in there....its better to wait than to hear things like this from the embassy, im sure u'll get ur visa next week, coz the first sentence in my letter said "I have completed a review of ur case" and it was signed by "Counsellor, Immigration section. This was the first time we got a correspondence by snail mail, all this time they contacted by email.

 

[rathika2011]

dont be freaking out...you just got to write it the way u were explaining on the forum. Just do the same but get it affidavit "from a notry public lawyer" explain every thing properly..why u never mentioned on the application...good luck keep us posted

 

[vaali]

when u hav it as an affidavit, will they actually believe it? thanks rathika. enjoy ur vacation.

 

[rathika2011]

when u hav it as an affidavit, will they actually believe it? thanks rathika. enjoy ur vacation.

well A statement written and sworn to in the presence of someone authorized to administer an oath, such as a notary public. the person signing takes an oath that the contents are, to the best of their knowledge,is true hope it will help i pray and hope they will accept it....

 

[vaali]

thanks alot rathika, ur so sweet. k, we will try speaking to his local police monday morning, and if it looks like its going to be a long process then we'll notarize the letter and send it. thanks alot...im soo scared...this is how at about this time last year, we thought u were going to get ur visa and she refused ur husband's visa with no good reason
nothing comes easy for me

 

[rathika2011]

dont worry girl my case was maybe bit difficult and remember everyones case is unique and different....hang in there girl....i'm praying for u and all the members in this forum god will answer my prayer .....hope 4 the best...keep me updated with ur situation..

Vaali, I m running out of words after reading your post. I guess u better contact the UK police as well, so that they may help u to overcome this situation. SL police will take ages even if they can, but I wonder if they could. U better get advice from an experienced lawyer to handle ur case as Rathika said. However, They can not refuse ur husband's visa at any rate... Hold u tight, u r gonna be fine..

 

[vaali]

I dont know frust...no words to explain how freaked out i am...the more i read on the internet, the more reason i have to be freaked out...my conclusion now is: if my husband gets his visa, it will be a miracle...coz from all what i've researched in the past few days about traffic offences, uk laws, and cic's misrepresentation assessment....it looks like it is easier for the officer to refuse us than to believe this long story we are going to tell them

atleast if i had declared he had charges or conviction in the application form, then we would have a chance...we'll just have to get a letter from his local police that they took no action regarding it...but i didnt declare he had criminal offences because
1. the police never contacted him regarding the incident after that
2. no letter about charging or accusing or convicting or about a fine even
3. he got his uk licence 10 days after the incident, even then we dint hear of a fine even
4. when we saw it in the police certificate, we thought it must be some database error in the police station, that they forgot to update that they left the case, and we thought if the embassy wanted they could always contact the uk police and ask questions about it, coz we DID submit the police certificate...we were not trying to hide it :'(

should i have still put he had a charge, just coz his police certificate said minor traffice offence, pending prosecution?

 

[rathika2011]

answer would be yes you should've put it on ur application....

 

[vaali]

so we inquired from the local police station, they said nothing happened with this case, and it shouldnt say pending prosecution on it...they said they'll call us tomoro coz the person dealing with the case was on leave today

 

[FrusT]

Vaali any news from your side ?

 

[vaali]
