I have got the settled status approved today. I have overstayed between 2015-2019.
My wife is both British and French. Will Overstay become a problem if I apply for British Citizenship now ?

Do you have any other factors against your good character? Eg fines, driving tickets?

Then it shouldn't be a problem, but do review the Good Character guidance anyway.
