Applying for ILR Set (LR) but lost my passport
Posted: Fri Jul 26, 2013 5:09 pm
Hello Everyone,
I have been in the UK for 9 years now.
I first entered the country in August 2004.
I spent 6 years on a student visa, 2 years on a psw visa and 1 year on a Tier 1 general visa.
This means I should be eligible next year to apply for ILR.
However, in 2011 my passport was stolen while I was on holiday.
This means that all the visas in the stolen passport are lost!
It also means that I don't know the exact entry/departure dates into the UK which would make it difficult to prove that I haven't been outside the country for more than 540.
In addition, since this has been a long time ago, I don't have any of the flight ticket information to get my departure/entry dates.
Could you please advice me what's the best way to move forward with this? I need specific advice on my departure/entry dates. Should I estimate those dates? What should I do?
