Can he sue those people for destroying his passport!!? I know I'd want to...JAJ wrote:I would very much expect that the Home Office have a file documenting his ILR status. How did he obtain his ILR?
Regarding his children, if they were born in 1993 and 1995 (before he got ILR), are they British based on their mother's status as a permanent resident? (EU citizens were deemed permanent residents before October 2000). Or were they registered as British citizens later on? In that case, his ILR evidence will be on the children's citizenship files.
On top of that, the Passport Office should not have destroyed a passport with visa stamps in it.
He should contact the Home Office again and if they do not help a second time, he should urgently contact his Member of Parliament and ask him or her to intervene with the Home Office Minister.
Incidentally - why has he not applied for registration as a British citizen himself?

...
can he just book a session at any PEO and pay GBP500 to get his ILR based on the database in the Home Office's system???

Probably not but he should make an urgent complaint to his Member of Parliament. His MP can raise the issue with the Home Office Minister.sakura wrote: Can he sue those people for destroying his passport!!? I know I'd want to...
1. He would not lose his BNO status.I think if he applies for naturalisation he'd lose his Hong Kong citizeship/passport, no? I'm guessing...
Actually, I was noticing that the UK passport service pays out quite a bit of compensation money each year. I assume a good amount of it is for lost documents, of which this would be one.JAJ wrote:Probably not but he should make an urgent complaint to his Member of Parliament.

Unfortunately it's possible he never got the letter. I used to think that everyone who received ILR got a letter from the Home Office (I did) but since then I have known people who didn't.SYH wrote:Getting back to the letter, I know your friend said he didn't get one, but he probably was just focusing on the stamp and should really go through his stuff to see if he can find the letter.

What country is his wife from and does she want to become a British citizen too?
I personally never received any letter when I obtained ILR and neither has anyone else I know who obtained ILR.Marco 72 wrote:Unfortunately it's possible he never got the letter.

hi jes2jes,jes2jes wrote:The simple solution to this is to make a Subject Access Request, which would hold all the information concerning the OP's immigration history. Armed with this, he can apply personally at the PEO for his ILR to be issued and placed in the new passport.
Alternatively, if the OP knows his HO Reference number, he can just send in his new passport with the appropriate form and fees using the TOC form to get the ILR stamped in the new passport.
Others can comment on this.
