Lawful leave after a refusal

[Royal20]

Hi
Home office refused my FLR(O) application on may 2016, then I made another application within 28 days and varied my application on different occasions and finally varied my application with ILR application on July 2017 but home office refused my application saying that I don't have lawful leave after may 2016.

Was my leave after may 2016 lawful?

Did you overstay at any point? When was your leave to remain due to expire before you made an application in 2016.

Exact refusal wording as well full immigration history would help.

You would still have been considered an overstayer after your refusal, but if you had re applied with in that 28 day grace period, my understanding is they would disregard that period, again it is at their discretion though.

Did you make an in-time application before the June 2016 application, that was refused?
