Hi.
I am about to apply for my first extension for my Spouse Visa and since everyone was so helpful previously with my tricky situation I was wondering if I could ask a few questions again.
I was an overstayer until 2018. Returned voluntarily to South Africa and applied successfully for a spouse visa to return to live with my husband who is a British citizen.
On the application it does ask the question have you overstayed a UK visa.
Obviously the answer is yes if they are referring to previous visas and not the current one. Also I would have previously lived in the UK etc.
My question is am I answering these questions as if I have a clean slate or do I need to refer to my previous immigration history openly and honestly from the beginning when answering all these questions. Would I need to mention this in the cover letter as well.
I don't want to prompt something that isn't necessary but obviously will be honest if this is relevant to this visa application.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
