All visas count for 10 years long residence. As long as she meets the requirements and the absence limits, she should be fine.

Don't listen to 'some people'. As long as you have 10 years legal stay and no period of overstay exceeding 28/14 days, all visas count (including visit visas).

Dear Guru CR 001

Thanks in advance for your valuable help for so many peoples lives.

I am due to apply for ILR via 10 long residence route.

I just went through the application form where it states that ''You should also provide documents of the
type listed below to show that you were continuously resident in the UK during any periods for
which you are unable to provide a passport''.

Does this mean that ONLY PASSPORTS AND VISA/BRP which i had for 10 years is enough when applying visa premium service OR should i submit documents like Doctors, employment letters, HMRC/P60 Etc; council tax/gas/electricity bills too Please. What if i dont have few documents mentioned above as i was in shared accommodation when i started as student visa.

I dont have any gaps in visas and never overstayed. All the visa's been extended or changed within UK itself. In that case only passports, visa and BRP is it enough to show please.

Looking forward for your reply please
KINDEST REGRADS
