Why is this posted in the employment section?

Are you trying to go back home? Are you applying for a different visa? We need more detail.

Ok if you're going home it's simple. They may or may not randomly check you. If not, then nothing extra happens but on any subsequent applications you have to be honest about your overstay. If they do randomly check you when leaving, I believe they do take finger prints and fill out some paperwork but because you're leaving on your own and are paying for your flight back home, then you won't be in trouble.

Overstay is not a big deal when it comes to family/partner visas but tier 1 is not in that catagory I'm afraid . I would probably speak to a solicitor if I were you before making any further applications.

You are liable to be banned for 1 year, under Para 320 of the Immigration Rules as under:

"(7B) subject to paragraph 320(7C), where the applicant has previously breached the UK's immigration laws by:

(a) Overstaying;

unless the applicant:

(iii) left the UK voluntarily, not at the expense (directly or indirectly) of the Secretary of State, more than 12 months ago; "

If you conceal your overstay and are discovered to have lied, you will be banned for 10 years.

Definitely talk to a qualified immigration advisor.

HI,
