Is it not enough that I produced payslips and P45/P60 for that year? I have been in the UK for 8 years now. Is there anything I can do? Hi edga. What was the date of ...

I am applying for ILR. I am not sure of my travel dates as I have been in and out of the UK many times in the past 5 years. If I send a request will they be able to tell me exactly what dates I left and entered the UK?
