I am a naturalised British citizen - previously settled on a T2 visa. My wife is now eligible for ILR as a T2 dependent so we are preparing to file on SET(O).
One of the "Other Documents" to be provided is: "All previous passports, travel documents or national identity cards that you have used to travel to or remain in the UK".
Her currently valid passport was issued just prior to her original T2 dependent visa grant, so her entire UK immigration record for her 5 year qualifying period is encompassed by that current passport. However, on her previous expired passport she made several short-term visits to the UK as a tourist. The trouble is, we do not have that passport in our possession right now; it is back in the USA.
Will it be sufficient to have my in-laws scan all the pages in the previous passport and email them to us, or will we definitely need the original in hand?
Would the process permit us to apply now, and only if the Home Office requests the previous passport we would arrange for it to be shipped over in a few business days, or would that risk forfeiting our entire application fee?
