Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

[Gatawa04]

Hi all

i am in panic mode a bit, got an email from LVO and they are asking me to explain what " No live trace" on my police certificate means. I was cautioned for assault in 2008.
- Should i have mentioned this when i filled my application?
- Will this have an impact on the outcome of application?
-will tbis delay my application?
- In responding do i just put the details, dates and the Police force involved or do i explain the whole incident who was in involved and what it was about?

Anyone in a similar situation or any advice will be appreciated

Yes, you should have.. A police caution in the UK is an admission of guilt.
Yes, it might do.
Probably not, especially if they accuse you of misrepresentation...
You will probably have to give them "chapter and verse" now, as they have latched onto it.

My 21 year old came back with no live trace and he has never been arrested , detained or convicted nothing . I thought this was a good thing. He don't have as much as a parking ticket .

NO LIVE TRACE indicates that information exists on the PNC.
NO TRACE is completely clean.

Still stuck in the UK, waiting for our house buyer to sell her house... Sigh...

Indeed. She is getting a real bargain as well, and she knows it. Hence, I don't think that she'll back out. It's just a matter of time.

Lets hope you get here for the summer

This is turning out to be a nightmare, just been through all my forms on the application pack and to my horror i found that on Shedule A Background declaration IMM 3669E Question 6J i ticked the No box instead of Yes. In my part i missunderstood what detained meant. I took it it meant being lockec up afterbeing convicted. I was held at a police station for the booking process and the released after a couple of hours , the charges were dropped and i never went to court but was cautioned instead.

My question now
- should i be explaining my mistake to the case officer?
- should i be getting an immigration lawyer?
If so does anyone know of a good Canadian immigration lawyer in the UK preferably in and around London

any ideas or help will be greatly appreciated

Yes, you should try to explain in detail to the case officer, emphasising the misunderstanding of the question(s). I really don't think an immigration lawyer will help at this point. Maybe keep that in your back pocket for later, especially if you are refused on the grounds of "misrepresentation", as that carries a two year exclusion ban.

You are probably aware of the following, but for other readers who may not understand a "Police Caution" in the UK. https://www.gov.uk/caution-warning-penalty

Yeah, London, along with some other Visa Offices, have started doing that. I personally believe that they are incorrect in their following of the documented process, but what are you going to do... Same happened to me last year. For some of us, back to "18" is a very long time...

How long after you sent them the information did you get the visa or heard from them?

 

[zardoz]

It was about 6 weeks after sending them the updated info that it changed to "DM" state. I'll take a look at my GCMS notes and see if there was anything relevant in there about this process. Then, I'll update this post.

Update:

Their request: 03/06/13 (Email)
I responded: 03/06/13 (Special delivery - 9am Next Day)
They updated: 14/06/13 (Yes, it really did take them 10 days!!)
Decision made: 23/07/13 (Even if they did get it wrong to start with)
