But the thing is I made my last trip in May 2016 and never left the UK after. That makes it full 6 years without travelling outside the UK. I have not mentioned any trips in the application. They only asked me if I made any trips in the last 5 years and I have not.
Okay, I have an old Travel Document that I got in 2015 and it expired in 2020. Do you think I should send them that one? And I also have a new TD that I applied just this year it doesn't have any stamps yet as it has never been used yet.. Hope I will not have to send my new one as I applied for it b...

Just guessing, but TD is similar to a passport, and is issued based on your status in the UK. Also like a BRP - so not in itself immigration applications, and BRP are considered imm. applications. Sorry meant "and BRP are NOT considered imm. applications." Hmm.. does that mean I only need...

Strangely, it has not been an issue when I applied for my ILR in 2019 they granted me one after my first one (5 years) expired but I applied with my solicitors help that time so maybe that's why...not sure.

Hi, I am sad to state I'm guilty of not telling the DWP for doing some paid job in 2015 for which I have been issued a civil penalty and the amount of overpayment to pay (around £1000+-).
