I am reading again this last version of the guidance and they always refer to immigration breaches during the qualifying period which is 3 or 5 years.

But they don't follow their own guidance. Because for immigration breaches they don't look within the qualifying period only but they look back 10 years and any breach triggers a nearly mechanical refusal.

I wished they could be more upfront about this in their guidance to avoid people losing their money in doomed applications.

Why am I more curious to discuss this new guidance ?There is more on discretion for applicants in it.If HO follows its guidance I don't think anyone who has ILR and no breach during the qualifying period which is 5 years in most cases can get a refusal .There is a wide discretion on good character but HO caseworkers rarely apply it.We have seen a very few cases where overstaying has been disregarded & nationality granted .Many people don't report such cases here.There is something good for applicants in the new guidance.
