Entry Via Dublin So No First Entry Stamp on Passport

[paulprd]

Hi All,

Me, my wife and child had come from US on Tier 1/dependent Visa on Aer Lingus and were stamped on passport at Dublin airport in April 2009 and then travelled to Heathrow terminal 1 where the passport was not stamped. We are now due for our ILR and wanted to understand what documentary evidence would prove that we had indeed entered the UK on the same date on which the passport was stamped at Dublin airport. We would also like to know if there is a need to engage the services of a solicitor if we have the required documents. Also, we would like to know experiences of others who have in the last one year gone for ILR with similar situation.

Thanks & Regards,
Paul PRD

When you arrive from Republic of Ireland. The immigration staff take your ticket or boarding and is within their record.

In order to further justify above provide them with a covering letter and I believe this should be enough to explain your first arrival date in UK

Keep your airline boarding card and ticket as proof of travel.

thanks vinny, appreciate your quick reply!

for future travels; are tier-1 (general) immigrants required to get an entry stamp from uk immigration controls if visiting Ireland for few days?

cheers
