5 years from date of marriage.

Hi all, My ILR has been refused based on 10 year long residency. I am considering making a new application for Permanent Residence rather than going through the lengthy appeal process (which is long and costly). I was married to my EEA partner in Sept 2014. But we were living together one year befor...

A quick question: I need to travel urgently and need my passport and BRC back, anyone know whether this will automatic withdrawal my application to ILR (LR). Thanks!!!

In some cases, I do not have any stamps - it purely depends on the agent who looked at my passport. In your case, I would prepare ALL flight tickets maybe the case worker will just let you off the leash. I was “unlucky” my casework actually checked every single stamp I ever had in my three passports...
