As British says, you should explain how come it's 3.5 years since you were granted ILR without needing a stamp any of that time.olud wrote:Hi all , i do hope someone can help. I was granted ILR with no conditions in Jan 2003 . I sent my passport together with the letters to the IND this june to have the ILR stamped on my passport. They have not returned my passport nor have i had anny communication from them. I called them a couple of times. They acknowledged they had the passport but would not say why it has not been returned. On one of my calls, they even said it may take up to 13 weeks!!
Is there anything i can do?
If you noticed your passport was missing for over three years ago, why didn't you apply for a new one there and then?My passport went missing just after i got the ILR in 2003 and i have not travelled out of the country since. I have just got a neww passport and i sent it in for the ILR to be stamped on it .

Or does it take three years for your Embassy to issue a new one?
You would need to explain this to HO and get all relevant documentation to support this since it is a bit over the top. I would understand if you said this escaped you and you realised that you need to get the ILR stamp but otherwise, I am a abit bemused!
That's true, but the point is that the original poster (OP) ought not to be penalised by the Home Office because he or she did not have an unexpired passport: it sounds as if the OP's immigration status was in order throughout the period in question.jes2jes wrote:Olud wrote:
Yes you are right it is not compulsary to have a passport but for some basic services, the best form of ID is your passport if you do not have a driving licence.In addition... i dont think its compulsory to have a valid passport ...or is it?
Thanks.
