British Citizenship

Post by Joefdo » Sun Feb 14, 2016 8:50 pm

Hello there,
I'm about to apply for my British citizenship and I'm bit worried my past migration history effect my application. I have been living in UK since 2001. I came to UK on working holiday visa for two years but I did not return to country of origin and overstayed in the UK. In 2008 I got married to a EEA national and I was granted 5 year visa as a family member of EEA national and now I have a permanent resident card. My problem is, on AN application asks about working history for last ten years and I'm not sure what should I do. I did work for an agency between 2003 to 2009 but I don't know It has been recorded in inland revenue. Please advice me what to do?

If you had a period of illegal residence prior to 2008, you won't be able to apply for BC until 2018.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
