Was your case was stright ? no gap or late visa extension? or more holidays etc?
I really dont know what ppl define "straight" as. I didnt have gaps or late visa extensions(all within legal time,however 2 appeals due to not sending funds evidence but all accepted and visas renewed).i'm well below the holidays limit too.
You should phone to UKBA as already completed six month,please let us know with outcome.
I have been trying to call them but no one answering the call however they do have an option for applications over 6 months?. This is sounding very frustrating that you cant even get an update!!!

Dear zainy

I understand your situation, don't be panic, did you go through with your SAR file throughly , I mean page by page . It's include your first landing card details which is cover when you first enter this country .

Second things when you extension your leave to remain , it's stated case worker file in a footnote about your progress . Third things you can find out in SAR file , all of your application rise date and how they grant your leave to remain and how long it's for .

Third things if they want to more details about the time line 2002 to 2005 , then they go for landing card warehouse to find it out , how many days your were out of the country .

Again be patient , inshallah you will be heard good news very soon .

Thanks for your quick replay .

Because of your applied leave to remain rather than entry clearencce . That's why they didn't store any landing card details for your travel in period of feb 2005 to march 2005 .
They only held the landing card for entry clearence . Rest of the landing card stored in theirs warehouse .

I am writing this matter on my personal experience . Because I have two entry clearence once in 2002 as a student and another one is 2010 as tier2 migrant . Ukba only store my two landing card details while I was out of the country more than 12 times .

Think be positive , inshallah you will get ur ilr soon .

When we make request for SAR and request for all information to be released to us which UKBA holding about us, why they only send one landing card, if they holding other after first landing they should release them as well.
I was as Student for 8 years as well and then Tier 2 migrant but in my SAR discloure only first landing card given not even after my entry as Tier 2 arrival. Not sure if they really hold all landing cards.

what you say..

I think you are mislead with my information .
Q 1 . Where did you get your tier 2 . Basically it was in country or out country application .

If you get your tier 2 from out of uk and entry with entry clearence , then ukba must retain ur landing card and disclose witty your SAR file .

Thanks

Mine was in country application. but this is not what I am trying to say.
My point is, when we request all information to be disclosed by UKBA, for what reason they cant release all landing cards but why only one or two?


in 10 years frequent visitors cant remember all entries and exits from UK, specially within Europe when some time no one stamp passport.
How one can fill form with UK entry/ exits in this case, and if SAR file does'nt htlp, this can make matter bit complicated as well.
