Three Questions re ILR Application

[1400 Years]

When did you last enter the UK?

- Form Set (O) Page 14

1. Does this mean when I entered as an immigrant the first time, or when I last re-entered from a brief holiday that I took abroad? For example, I immigrated on 1 Dec 2007, then went abroad for a week in Feb 2011 [leisure], returning on 28 Feb 2011...

11L Tier 1 (General) migrant If you are applying for indefinite leave to remain on completing 5 years’ continuous stay in the UK made up of leave as a Tier 1 (General) migrant and leave as a highly skilled migrant, work permit holder, innovator, self-employed lawyer or writer, composer or artist, in addition to the relevant documents in 11A, you must provide the following documents:

Evidence specified in section 9A of this form

For the period before you were granted leave as a Tier 1 (General) migrant, documents showing that you met the relevant requirements of the immigration rules.

2. Does the blue text above mean that one is required to [re]provide all the documents included in the application for HSMP [in my case] which I applied for in 2007 [from Oman]?


3. I recently found that I have misplaced the expired passports [on which three of my family members travelled over to the UK in 2009. These expired in the same year, and new ones were applied for - which bear the current and valid FLR visa.] I went to the police station to report about the misplaced old passports, but they said they don't log any such reports any more. The UKBA require original ones - expired and current - to be sent. I only have the photocopies. What to do now?

Thanks in advance for replies

is that alright now sir?

1. The meaning of the question is exactly what is asked in plain English. In other words, what is the most recent date of entry to UK?
2. Reading this topic should help.
3. If you do not have a police report from the time of loss of the passport and the police no longer files a report for expired passport with invalidated leave, then the only thing left is that you state these facts in the application form. Hopefully, a sensible caseworker will understand your predicament - that you cannot do anything about it now - and use his/her discretion.

I hope you will have no more than these three questions regarding your ILR application. If so, sure!
