British Citizenship

Ask or Answer questions relating to Naturalisation, Registration, Right of Abode, etc.

Hi,

I have applied for naturalisation in April 2023, decision is still pending. In August police arrested me but released me under investigation.

My question is: Do i need to inform home office regarding this or they carry their own checks. if I have to, how can I contact them?

Thank you

I am preparing to apply for British Citizenship and wanted to get your thoughts on the 10 years good character requirements for overstayers. By way of context:

1) I overstayed my student visa from March 2009 until September 2010.

2) In September 2010, I was apprehended by immigration officers and was detained for approx 4 weeks.

3) In October 2010, I was granted bail, subsequently granted temporary admission and requested to sign on until July 2011.

4) In July 2011, I was granted DLR for 3 years and a further 3 years in 2014.
