Could you help me?

Please check whether my following sentence is right or not.

Thanks.

It has been over ten years after she had gone back to her own country.
  

Top answer

It has been over ten years since she last went back to her country. What you had was a sentence with present perfect and past perfect combined together. It's not neccesary.
