Hi

I hope some senior members can help me.I applied for Naturlization,received a letter from home office this week asking me further evidence that when my appeal rights were exhausted in 2009,I overstay from 6 july 2009 to 29 Mar 2010.
They send me a questionare to fill asking where I was working or where I lived in that period.

In fact I left uk withing 28 days when my appal was refused in 2009 and have passort to showing
entry date 15 july 2009.I don't know why they are saying I overstayed till 29 Mar 2010.
I have solicitor who is dealing my case,do you guys think it will be a problem on good character requirement?

Thanks in advance.

Guys any help please

any period of overstay (even if within 28 days) can affect on citizenship up to 10Y. seniors might be able to clarify you on this.

Just one thing to point, HO might think you were in UK if you were in any payroll where you were working in 2009. lets say you were out of UK but there was any record they found on your HMRC record by any chance (NI,tax, others, etc) during this period. So you may check from your earlier employer when did they terminate you from that job! this might not be the reason but could be too for HO to think that you were in UK.

Thanks for reply.For good character you suppose to leave when your visa expired so that what I did. I have my solictors who is dealing my case.

Just out of curiosity; if a student visa expired while u were waiting for work permit, that should not affect good character right?

Provided the application was submitted before student visa expired?

Dear CR001,

Thank you.

I just realized that when submitting my application via NCS, I added my employment details for 10 years but I did not mention that some of those years are on a part time basis. I do hope that they checked my P60s with HM Revenue for the years that I was a student as I don't want to be under the below 9.7 category
