any way, entry clearance offices are regularly considering applications for
spouse, fiancée, and unmarried partner applications under the general
provisions of the Immigration Rules. Under Section 9 of the Immigration
Rules, there are set out the grounds for which entry clearance is to be
refused, and entry clearance is normally to be refused.
I had not, before mid October, ever seen a case in which a previous
overstaying alone had been used as a reason to refuse entry clearance as
a spouse. I have, however, been made aware of four different cases
which have been refused on this ground over the past ten days. They
have been from three different countries, including Pakistan and
Jamaica, and it therefore does appear that this represents a new policy. this was from a immigration lawyer,,
so don't overstay in the uk, or you might be refused a spouse visa
