British Citizenship Good Character - Overstayer

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.

5) Granted ILR in 2017.


Question: Does the 10 years start from when (i) I was apprehended by the HO; (ii) I received Temporary admission; (iii) I got DLR.


Thanks in advance.
