Can someone please HELP!!! I am new to this site and this is my fist post.
I believe my story is not that complicated – but I don’t want to take any chances because there is no appeal in my case if I fail in the application as I still have leave to remain under Tier 1 General.
I came to this country 10 years ago exactly, and I want to apply for my ILR under the 10 year rule, I have no gaps or irregularities, my only problem is that one of my passports is missing, this covers me for my first 4.5 years in this country, a period in which I travelled about 4 times.
Out of my 10 years – I was a student for 6 of those, so I believe my case is straightforward as I have all evidence to prove this; but once again the only glitch is that they don’t take attendance record at Universities.
But fortunately for I have kept a lot of my records over my 10 years in the UK such as phone bills, bank statements, proof of accommodation and a few travel artefacts such as my airmiles statements which showed when I earned my airmiles etc
Lastly – when I requested my SAR from the homeoffice earlier this year – they included a photocopy of all pages of the missing passport which shows my travel record in that time, but I hear you cannot use this as proof!!!
So my questions are:
1. How complicated is my issue?
2. How do I prove that I haven’t been in the UK for longer than stipulated by the ILR rules in my first 4.5 years?
3. Lastly – can anyone recommend a good lawyer to fight my case?
Thank you.
