Hi,

Assuming that you are a uk resident and citizen it naturally follows you dont need a settlement visa for yourself.

It is your wife who is applying for the Settlement visa and her past conduct that is to be considered not yours, unless ofcourse your driving offense's incuded smuggling people into the uk in the car that is!! LOL

I'm sure you wil look back and laugh at this question at some point in the future but can well understand the stress and worry you are both going through at the moment which will likely continue right up until she comes away from the visa desk with a smile on her face and the appropriate visa in her passport.

Some people on this site might adopt a holier than thou attitude about motoring convictions but I feel thats a bit OTT when all things considered.

After all, I am sure that most of the guys on here have had to swerve to avoid a child at some time in their past

Good luck to you both

it does not even ask on the sett form if you have a criminal record! only if the person appliying or that persons dependants has, i take it you are not her son !!!
