Good character recommendation letter for 20 years long residence route

Post by farouk222387 » Tue Aug 25, 2020 10:44 pm

Hi
My friend is planning to apply visa in the UK via 20 Years Long Residence and was over stayed for a long period of time. I was asked to provide good character supporting letter. I am planning to apply my ILR next year. is there anyway that I can be in trouble for doing this, esp. when I made my own ILR application?
Appreciate your help.

Did you house them or provide them with work when they were illegally resident in the UK?

Ordinarily providing a truthful reference should not put you in jeopardy albeit 'truthful' is subjective in this case.
