Good character confusion

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone could advise on my situation.

I came to the UK at the age of 5 on my father's passport (now lost). Along the way became an over stayer.

In 2006 (now 21yrs old) I became fed up of waiting for my stepmother to regulate my stay so I contacted my local MP for advice.

July 2006 I received a response from the HO saying I had to make an application to regulate my stay or leave voluntarily.

Nov 2008 application was submitted.

April 2010 ILR granted.

My question is when can I apply for naturalisation? 10yrs from July 2006 or 10yrs from April 2010.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Vinny,

I was thinking the same but hoping that wouldn't be the case. Better to be safe that sorry, don't have over a grand to waste at the moment lol.
