I dont think your stay between rejection and appeal would be considered as illegal, normally home office would allow an appeal time, if you go through the rejection letters if you have it should state somewhere how long you have to appeal and stuff. I think its how you entered UK legally / illegally might affect your application as most people who came illegally normally wait until 10 years over to apply for BC as they will most likely fail good character check if they came to UK.
thank you for reply but i think if you go through the guide you will see that home office doesn't consider illegal entry and claim asylum at the time you enter uk as its explain below:
Immigration breaches and people who have sought asylum
in the UK
This section tells you how to consider applications from former asylum seekers.
These will normally fall into 3 categories.
Applicants who claimed asylum immediately on arrival in the UK and were granted
temporary admission pending determination of their claim will not have been in breach of the immigration laws while their application was being considered or during
consideration of any in-time appeals. Even if their application is refused and any
subsequent appeal dismissed, the applicant will still not have been in breach, until
their temporary admission was revoked and their leave to enter was formally
refused.
Applicants who claimed asylum during a period of leave to enter or remain in the UK
were not in breach of the immigration laws during consideration of their asylum claim
and any in-time appeals. However, if the application was refused and the appeal
dismissed, they will normally have been given 28 days’ further leave to remain. They
will have been in breach if they remained in the UK after that 28 day period. This
also applies to cases where the applicant was granted leave to enter or remain
under a Humanitarian Evacuation Programme (HEP).
