Hello All

I had an appointment with NCS today for my British Citizenship.

I had all my documents, my route would have been either 3years Spouse Visa Route or 5years.

Anyway initially i had overstayed my visa in 2008 went back to my home country and i got married , then we came back on 3yr Visa.

In NCS Today there is a new law, under good conduct, if you are overstayer in the past then one will need to wait for 10years after getting the ILR to qualify for BC.

Thought i inform guys who are applying direct to HO to watch out otherwise they will loose there money!!

I asked the lady in NCS when did that law come out, she said as from December 2014!!

I think the 10-year ban should start from when you last finished overstaying.
