Hi they have refused me British citizen based on me working
OK so here goes my timeline
Arrived 1999 on visitors visa 6 months
Over stayed Visitors Visa and expired
Applied Asylum 2009 and it was refused
Granted DLR instead 2009
Renewed DLR 2012
2 children granted BC based on 10 year rule
Applied for ILR 2016 (granted)
Applied for BC Feb 2018
Reason for refusal
You were here without valid leave in the United Kingdom between August 1999 when your visa expired and September 2009 when you were granted DLR, you were not compliaiant with UK laws in this period.
As part of your Asylum application you stated you were supporting yourself through hairdressing and cleaning, this declaration clearly shows you were working . Therefor we have refused your application.
If you believe the decision to refuse your application was not soundly based on nationality law, policy or our procedures and you wish it to be reconsidered, you must complete Form NR and pay a fee.
I have just gone through my application and found the interview notes where i have clearly stated the hairdressing and cleaning was voluntary, so that is not working?
Is it worth me appealing?
Have anyone ever had this overturned ?
I have been of good character and have a degree and full time skilled job?
Shall i just wait till next year to apply ?
