I am a reformed character it was a one off offence how can I win this appeal I need it to fund my degree ? The council said they are happy to consider me in august however that will be too late Help please thanks !!
Answers
A caution becomes part of your criminal record. You have not been "let off with a caution". Sometimes they are "spent" after 5 years and sometimes they stay on your record indefinitely.
You have severely restricted your employ-ability and don't plan on going to the USA in the near future.
Just out of curiosity, on what grounds would you base your appeal?

After checking I find the caution can be classed as spent as early as 3 months after issue. If this is true, he may well have been "let off with a caution."
Quote:-
Per the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, simple cautions, reprimands and final warnings become spent (meaning that they do not need to be disclosed, unless applying for particular types of work) immediately, and conditional cautions become spent after 3 months.
Although cautions can show up on CRB checks, records may be removed after five years, although they are often retained longer or indefinitely in practice.

Sorry Masterq but I have just found this

Any conviction , including a caution MUST be declared even when spent when applying for a Taxi licence, taxi drivers ( and personal licence holders, carrust) are exempt from the rehabilitation of offenders act, one conviction ends your career! .

Reasons the USA deny entry its country:
9 FAM 40.21(a) N2.2 Defining “Moral Turpitude”
(CT:VISA-1506; 09-07-2010)
Statutory definitions of crimes in the United States consist of various
elements, which must be met before a conviction can be supported. Some
of these elements have been determined in judicial or administrative
decisions to involve moral turpitude. A conviction for a statutory offense will
involve moral turpitude if one or more of the elements of that offense have
been determined to involve moral turpitude. The most common elements
involving moral turpitude are:
(1) Fraud;
(2) Larceny; and
(3) Intent to harm persons or things.
If you wanted to visit the USA and lied, you would be committing another fraud.

Basically the council think I am not a fit and proper person to hold a license whilst I believe I am I have excellent character reference and I am Saving up for my phd the license will help me fund it, if I don't get the license I may not be able to do phd, the America thing I'm sure I can go on holiday for like 2 weeks you don't need a visa for that and it's not a conviction it's a caution there is a difference !
Sorry, but with a caution for fraud you will need to either commit fraud and lie or go down the proper route and apply for a visa to enter the USA. They don't like fraudsters.
That aside, you have a police caution for fraud which means the admitted to the police that you committed fraud. Are you now denying you committed the offence?
You are studying for a PhD so you must have some skills you can use in employment other than taxi driving. Why must you be a taxi driver?
