Your thoughts and advice are most welcome please everyone.
I've just this week obtained ILR under SET(M). I'm looking into naturalisation now and the barrier that I have is the good character requirement.
In May 2006, I applied under HR Article 3 to regularise my stay following a long period of overstaying. It took 6 years for my case to be considered before I received discretionary leave to remain in Aug 2012.
I requested a SAR from UKVI in 2019 and on it they noted that the DL was given, amongst other reasons, because UKBA mishandled my case when they did not acknowledge my initial application in 2006.
I'm thinking because there were no Terms or Conditions of stay set for the 6years I waited for a conclusion, this might give me a little bit of leverage to ask them to exercise discretion when considering good character element (2009-2019) in my application for BC.
It's a long shot but wondering if it is a shot worth taking still??? What do you think?
