Ask your friend to spend time reading info here in the forum as we have had lots of members who have asked the same question before. ALso tell her to visit the official immigration websites ie. Home Office and British Embassy in Phils.

when she left did her passport get stamped or was anything done?
if not then no one will know about her overstaying?

Isnt that recorded in computer bornabirth,when she left the UK ?

thanks for the reply!her passport is clean and no stamp when she left london,

When leaving UK immigration usually has no stamp, but when landed in Phils they'll get one.

WHen applying a visa to UK ,the BritEMb REQUIRED you to show them any of your old/previous passports specially those stamps/visa you applied to any country before.

They will also have record of your previous application to the UK, so even though you tell them that you cant show your old passport for some reason (ie.lost passport or overstayed your visa and doesn't want it to show to the BritEmb) they will still know your history.

So my advice is never lie to the BritEmb, always tell the truth whatever you did with your previous visa. BritEmb are not stupid.

If you would like to have a success application, provide all the supporting documents they required and must show that THIS TIME you're a genuine applicant.
