Hi need Help please
I have applied for British citizenship back on February 2019, got refused because of overstay March 2012,(good character 10 year) but after 2012 I left the country on voulantary departure. Since then I got my spouse visa and my ilr through my wife Who is British citizen. On the Guidance it says after qualifying period I can apply for British citizenship. My question is there any opportunity to apply for reconsideration? Nationality act 1981 somewhere it mention if I married to a British citizen it will be 5 years. Please help

Hi everyone. Please I applied for naturalisation on 7 Feb 2019 but I didn’t received any reply from home office. I was previously overstayer refugee and ILR . I requested for updates by email and just received generic email from HO. I requested for SAR report and after reading SAR , it’s says that person Checks done 10 May 2019 and again Checked for two referees . Identify verified for both date 03 July 2019. I visited to My MP and he rang home office and home office representative told my MP that they will update him within 2 weeks. Please yours comments and suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance
