I know it was a very poor choice and I'm never repeating that again. Really hope everything goes well with the visa application. I will keep you all updated and will not respond to any stupid letters. Many thanks!

I really really hope this doesn't affect my visa application, have worked really hard for it. Applying for the visa next week, let's hope it all goes through smoothly. Thank you very much for your help.

Hi, He did say that the RLP will send the letter for the amount fined to me directly to my home country and that he will inform the Home Office about this incident. I don't know he was just threatening me or if he was actually going to do it.

Hi, I'm an International recent graduate on a Tier5 temporary work visa, which I received after Tier 4 student visa. I made a very stupid choice and shoplifted some stuff from Primark, I was in a rush to meet my friends and decided to just leave, the total price was approx £55. (Worst mistake ever) I'm on a work visa in UK and going to my country to apply for an extension for my visa. During my detention in Primark, the security guy asked me for my ID and I showed him my passport/BRP cause that's the only form of valid ID I have in UK. Therefore, he got to know that I'm not a national and threatened me that he will report this incident to the Home Office and RLP who will claim the fine from me. He has also taken the address of my home country + passport details and told me that I will receive my letter there directly. The security guy was extremely rude and told me that he doesn't want people like me in this country and he will do everything to get me out of here and never enter again. I cried and begged him to not do this and that this will never happen again but he simply dismissed me. I'm very very scared now. I don't have any past criminal record. This was my only stupid mistake. I'm ready to pay any sort of fine but I don't want this to be on my criminal record. Do you think the Home Office will dismiss my visa application cause of this or will this be on my criminal record?
