Yes but this rule is not always used and not directly applied, as practice shows. There are known cases when previous overstayers were returning to the UK as spouses.nyetmo wrote:It states in the UK law that overstayer are normally refused an entry clearance.
This is not correct. Any WP for the period over 12 months will not require a proof of returnability, i.e. still a path to settlement.nyetmo wrote: However WP is slightly difficult unless you manage to get 5 years work permit which can lead to residency then yes overstayer can be successful in applying for entry clearance.
Again, wrong. It is now a lot easier for an overstayer to return, specifically after October 2000 when they were no longer subject to deportation.Overall it is very difficult for overstayer especially now when UK are quite strict with immigration laws.
Sorry I do not believe you. You were staying overseas and thinking whether apply or not sitting on this forum and waiting for an appropriate topic to come up or what?nyetmo wrote: I applied for HSMP visa I successfully got it but ECO refused to give me entry clearance today because I overstayed years ago. I did not overstayed that long it was less than a year.
I wil say no more unless I see your refusal letter. Post it here (attach) and we will assess it. You can conceal your name on it if you wish.So what do you say about that?
I know from the advice received from lots of other people including professional immigration advisors. It also depends on your overstaying. Did you knowingly overstay? What was the reason?You never experience so how would you know? I had similar thought like you about overstaying apparently we both were wrong.
