That's my view as well. You could try consulting with an adviser, but I can't imagine the Home Office would approve an application that is well over 2 years out of time.My pessimistic view is that you will have to go through the whole entry clearance process again.

It sounds like your leave as a spouse has expired and you might have to take advantage of the 1st October concession.
Thanks for the quick reply! This came to my attention one morning as I was sitting having my first cup of coffee and reading the Telegraph with GMTV on in the background, and there was an American woman being interviewed, with a slightly similar situation (I think, unlike me, she had already been refused for another infraction) and was facing removal...What made my ears prick up was that she had overstayed beyond the date on her probationary leave to remain, without filing additional documentation...and I thought, "well, Ive done that...you mean I should have done something differently?" This was in the middle of March,since then I have been to Immigration Advisory Service (which I paid for) who told me I could risk trying to apply from here, but her supervisor felt the poweers of discretion had been removed from the persons making the decisions at the Home Office, and should therefore return to US, have passed my Life In The Uk test....which is ridiculous by the way..why ask me where I would apply for benefits??? Ask me if I think we have a chance in the World Cup? Or what the sun looks like when it sets over the North Cornwall coast, or how to make the perfect Yorkshire puddings...Do you have any experience of people being successful with a LOTR using powers of discretion?
Thanks A Million, K
Out of interest, how did you discover that you had misinterpreted the rules?
This can be found on the ILPA website.it was confirmed during the meeting between ILPA and Marc Owen and David Saville that a person in breach making a voluntary departure, both now and after 1 April 2008, should only ever be served with an IS 151A, confirming their status and not with an IS 151B suggesting that they are being removed. It was confirmed that these are not removals and will not incur the re-entry ban associated with removals. It would be extremely helpful to have this in writing.
