while applying for long residence ilr do we need to Tick the box which says"have you ever overstayed beyond your leave to remain expiry" if we have overstayed less than 28 days just because of invalid application which was resubmitted within 8 to 10 days.
thanks
Hello Shahfurqan ,
Logically you have to say YES but Technically it should be treated DISREGARDED
Here you have to check the when your application was returned you as INVALID if it is before 9th April 2012 Then these 8 to 10 days are disregarded and if its after 9th April 2012 still it should be disregarded you have to says YES and explain the reason with the time lines if you remember the times ...
And let suppose if you say NO to that question , it should not be bothered by the case worker because you know according to rules it should be disregarded and also make sure what actually the " invalid letter " saying you about the re applying of the fresh application .... Depends from case to case ....
Very Good Question really helpful for all the members of this forum and if any member disagree with my opinion kindly correct me here ..
best of luck with your app

i have got a bit confused that you said if it was returned as invalid before april 2012 so they will disregard 8 to 10 days but if it was returned as invalid after april 2012 then they will also disregard.i do not have the letter as my application was returned invalid in october 2008.i met a solicitor and he did not mention something like this as to me it make sense that if the applications are made before the april 2012 they should be treated according to that law and if application are made after april 2012 does not matter whenever the application was returned as invalid,it should be treated according to new laws.this is what as per my understanding the long residence paragraph 276(a)(B) says if i am not mistaken.It will not be appropriate for the home office if they have laid down a new law for treating applications and when they receive an application,they will start looking the date of invalidity so they could treat the application as per the previous abandon law.pls correct me if am wrong cuz i got confused once again.thanks
