As I come from Ireland (Dublin) as a student on 24 sep 97 but no stamped at airport so I sent application to the HO for endoresment and they received on 17 Oct 97 as their computer showing and I got endoresment on 26 Jan 98. Also they can not find one endoresment in their system between 1998 and 1999 but my passport got proper endorement and I beleive that, I went to HO myself and got visa same day.
My questions are:
1-Can I apply ILR now as I come in the UK on 24 sep 1997 (Evidence uni letter and receipts on 25 sep 1997)?
or
2-Can I apply ILR according to my first application received on 17 Oct 1997 by HO.
or
3- Can I apply ILR on the basis of my first endorement granted on 26 Jan 1998?
Kind regards,
Victoria has given you all the advise you need but I will reiterate based on your numbering system.
1. Yes but as Vic (Am I allowed to call you that?
) you need a lot of evidence. Not just university receipt and offer letter but anything to show you were physically here. Do you have your registration letters to show the date you registered? Any GP Registrations, any letters from the said date? A bank statement can also prove, i.e. the date of the account opening, tenancy agreement etc. The list is endless if you can prove that. Just came to mind, do you have a copy of the airline ticket from Ireland to the UK (Sorry but I do keep a copy of all my travel tickets so this may apply to only me
)?
2. I do not know that for sure but your call and if you have the royal mail receipts and orginal HO acknowledgment letters you could also go down that route, and also if you have you SAR file and can copy that page from their systems then fair enough.
3. I guess the best of all your options would be this since all your stamps would be there and it would be a straight forward case (assuming no breaches or no gaps etc) and would make it easier for the CW.
If using the options 1 and 2, please write a detailed covering letter as advise by Victoria and apply by post. I guess option 3 you can attend the PEO assuming all things are fine.
All the best.
