I applied for citizenship in May 2019 and got refusal because of a 3 months overstay in 2012. The home office suggested applying again in January 2023 to clear 10 years of history. I also forget to upload my reference letters online and at the time of biometrics. However, I sent both letters by e-mail and the home office did not reply. They send an approval e-mail today. Good Luck to all in the.
