Earned settlement, worries about historic overstay after regularising

[nichiwa]

Are they really going to punish people who already regularised years ago, even if they now have British families?

I had an overstay in the past, then made a human rights application, won at tribunal, and have had lawful family leave since. I’m now on the 5‑year parent route, working and paying tax, ILR in end of 2026

With this earned settlement proposal (10‑year baseline, +20 years for overstay/visitor entry etc.), is there any indication they’d treat a historic, tribunal‑resolved overstay as a reason to extend my qualifying period now? Or is this aimed at new breaches on the current route?

This is really worrying me and I can’t stop thinking about it. Feel like i am running mad
