British Citizenship – Good Character Requirement help

[Astro-south]

Hello all,

I have a question regarding the good character requirement.

I'm non-eu and moved from Spain to the UK with my EEA unmarried partner in Oct 2008. I received from the Spanish HO a residence card as family member of EEA citizen that was valid until 2013.

I stayed in the UK without applying for a UK visa until December 2010 when I was granted a 5 year RC as EEA family member( me and my partner got married in the UK in June 2009)

I applied for PR and I'm waiting now, but in the case it's granted and I apply for BC next year, will they refuse my application for failing the Good Character requirements since I didn't have a UK visa from Oct 2008 to Dec 2010?

Many thanks

I forgot to mention an important factor, in 2006 in Portugal my partner and I formed a "De Facto Union" and this was what allowed me to apply for my RC as a family member (Not the fact we were unmarried couple)

Will the HO refuse my application saying I failed the Good Character requirement for not applying for a RC?

Many thanks!
