Why? There’s no breach of any UK Immigration requirements while outside the UK?
But is there a Good character requirement for people have lawful residence in the UK when they are outside of the UK?
If you have overstayed for a short time like less than a year & never worked illegally during that time then a discretion can be applied depending if the caseworker wants it otherwise they will refuse on good character grounds .juttdon wrote: ↑Mon Mar 14, 2022 2:58 pmHI, i was over stayed in Uk and left Uk voluntarily 02/2012 and arrived back 03/2013 on EEA family permit as a Husband of Eu national and got permanent residence in 2018 and Settled status in 2020 and as it is 10 years since i left uk in 2012 Voluntarily. so do i have to wait another year before i apply for citizenship? or i can apply now? thanks
Yes. That’s correct. Working is illegal while overstaying. However, I believe that overstaying in the UK ceases after leaving the UK. If you left the UK in 02/2012, then that period of overstaying and any illegal working during that period was over 10 years ago. Do you have evidence of leaving the UK in 02/2012?London22 wrote: ↑Sun May 08, 2022 10:52 pmThey will check 10 years back feom the date of decision & if find out overstay or illegal work & love to refuse citizenship .If your overstay period was longer then they automatically assume you have been working illegally & love to refuse.Most refusals come due to overstat.It has become a complex a0plication.Better wait than wasting money .juttdon wrote: ↑Mon Mar 14, 2022 2:58 pmHI, i was over stayed in Uk and left Uk voluntarily 02/2012 and arrived back 03/2013 on EEA family permit as a Husband of Eu national and got permanent residence in 2018 and Settled status in 2020 and as it is 10 years since i left uk in 2012 Voluntarily. so do i have to wait another year before i apply for citizenship? or i can apply now? thanks
