    criminal convictions.

    help!!! I am getting married in july and want to apply for a spouse visa soon after. The problem is i have criminal convictions from my past. I am worried that it might be impossible to get a visa because of these. The convictions date back maybe 8 or 10 years and were just minor offences such as public order and petty theft. I would appreciate any sound advice anyone might have. I will be praying its good news.

    thanks.

    you sure your not a real scouser

    from what i remember none of the forms i've filled in ask if the sponsor has a criminal record,but they do ask if the applicant has any convictions, committed any war crimes and is a terrorist

    Like joe says on the visa form they dont ask much of us sponsers. As long as they are minor offences i doubt the embassy will be concerned even if they are aware of them.

    They are like joe said more worried about the applicant being a terriost or war crimnal and if you can make sure they dont become a burden on public funds.

    Even if an applicant had minor crminal record a long time ago in the past i doubt it would stop them applying and suceeding.
