I have a question . I Am going to the U.K. After overstaying in march for a total of 7 months after my entry stamp was due to expire. I am flying back to the U.K because my husbands grandmother has heart complications and her dementia has progressed severely. I would like to see her. On top of all of this I recently moved and had lost my passport so I decided to reckeve my new one with my married name. I don't want them to ask about my overstay and think that I am trying to come in by deceiving an official but I would also like the opportunity to stay for three weeks with her. My previous overstay was due to having my things stolen and no one here being able to afford to send me home. I live with my daughters in the U.S and it was never my intention to leave them. I also work and go to school here in the U.S. will my previous overstay make it harder for me to come in? Can I explain the situation? Or will I be denied as soon as I get off the plane ?
I posted this on someone else's topic but I'm new so I have a hard time navigating this...

I need a 50/50 shot. I need to be able to get through those borders one way or another. I didn't recieve notice and nothing was sent to me regarding a ban. Officials saw my passport when I left and didn't even bat an eye. I realise as an overstayer willing to leave they weren't necessarily going to tackle me down and ask me what I was doing there so long but it stands to reason that if you look at my passport have the decency to say something. Officials here informed my husband he could not enter anymore as a visitor and would need to come on a spouse visa. They took a copy of his record upon departure. Why wouldn't they do that in the UK? As far as my new passport my surname and passport number are changed so wouldn't it be more likely for me to be able to enter? Can I tell them to keep my passport and follow me to where I'll be staying if it's that much of a threat to the British population?
