10 years long residence applications

[shola]

Hi guys, I have being in this country since January 2002, unfortunately I lost my passport while on holiday in Africa last year, this made me stranded in Africa for just under 6 months. when i came back, i applied for 'subject access request' which i got in November last year. my question is will my ilr application be treated as straight forward or complicated ilr application i mean in term of processing time. I have always abide by all rules and regulations never out of time renewal. here is the detail of my application submission:

submitted on 20/12/2011
money taken 22/12/2011
acknowledged 23/12/2011
still waiting.........................

I submitted,

copies of previous granted visas
Subject access request
Police report of Lost Passport
Payslip
life in the UK test
obviously, my new passport



Can anyone tell what time i should roughly expect my passport back? Thanks.

Hi Shola, did you apply through a Solicitor or you did it yourself? Since u lost ur passport as well. I also lost my first passport , and idont know weather to use one or not please advice me ..

Thank you.

Hi Perry,

No solicitor mate, I apply on my own after seeking advise from a former home office caseworker. I am lucky enough to have scanned every single page of my lost old passport which showed all the prev visas. All the previous visas copies are attached and explained in a cover letter. All the visas are also covered in the SAR. so you need to apply for one well on-time before your submission.

I lost my first passport back in 2001, and lots of visas just a Franks, and finally last renewal was refused...and appealed then allowed etc etc... It's a long story. guys if you were here 10 years without making any crimes please do not give up your hopes!!! My time line is below

Hello Everyone!

I submitted:

Life in the UK test
Previous Home Office letters from 2002 to 2012
My current and previous passports
A cover letter, explaining an invalid application made 2005.
Reason (HO changed the form a few days before I made my application, as a student, I was lucky though, the case worker sent me a new form to fill, they did not return my documents). No Gaps

Can a moderator, guru or anyone knowledgable, tell me, if you think there may be a problem for me? Do you think my invalid application my be a barrier????

Hi Vien 2106!

I appreciate you taking the time to update the list, and adding me to it, thank you......

CONGRATULATIONS 2012

1. Thanks all for the wishes.
2. The only thing i can recommend is not to include any extra documents with your application (unless you have to do it to explain sumfin).
3. Another thing i can recommend is to include a prepaid special delivery envelope as it helped us a lot to track our parcel frequently.

zainy here is the ukba policy

Calculating absences from the UK
When calculating absences from the UK for long residence, a month is made up of 30
calendar days.
You must check carefully:
• information on the application form
• any UK exit and entry stamps in the passports
• the landing cards section on warehouse to confirm when the applicant entered the
UK.
You must be satisfied that there is sufficient evidence to show that the applicant has been in
the UK continuously for 14 years as required under the rules.

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
Miyazi

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.

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 .
Miyazi

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..
