Overstay
Posted: Wed Apr 03, 2019 10:37 am
Hi all,
I am in a situation. I want to apply for BC but have a few worries. I was a member of the British army up till 2013. When I left I was not informed about applying for BC or ILR. By the time I found out, I had already overstayed 15 days. I found that out when HO informed me through a letter that I had 1 month to apply or leave the country. Since I was not working and wife just had a baby I did not have the funds to do so. The month ended on May 28th. I called my mom who sent me the airfare so I went home 15th July 2013 and did the ILR abroad.Got ILR within a month and came back in November 2013 and been here since then. I travel quite a lot and have a job now. I want to know if the overstay will cause a problem if I apply for bc now.
