definitely not trying to wing it. I just don't know if I can say with a 100% certainty my movements between 5 and 10 years ago. I would imagine a lot of people can't. I travel a lot for work, family and holiday. I aim to be as accurate as possible. I'm just wondering if they are comparing my ...

thanks - and I suppose UKVI only have the 5 years worth of records?

Hi all Does anyone know if any UK government department has these records? I know you can do a Subject Access Request to the Home Office for up to 5 years of entry / exit records, but I'm not sure of my travel history from between 5 and 10 years ago - I no longer have my passport from that time. I ...

Thanks! So, it looks like I'd be fine then on this point?

Hi While on a Tier 2 visa, I was on a work secondment abroad to Paris for 6 months. I say 6 months, but the date from the beginning of the secondment until the end actually appears to run a few days over 6 months. Let's say from beginning to end it was 6.5 months for the sake of simplicity. During ...

yeah i just went through my passport and there are 2 instances where i was stamped with "leave to enter for six months: employment and recourse to public funds prohibited", even though I was well into a student visa for one of those times and on a work visa for another. I've mentioned this to an ...

For instance, I think for one of the stamps, I was nearing the end of my time on a student visa (I had completed my studies), I went travelling overseas for a month and I returned to the UK to see some friends before leaving the UK for my home country at the expiry of my student visa a few days ...

Thanks, both! That's very helpful. I will let you know how it goes! Another quick question - sometimes, when exiting and re-entering the country when I have been abroad for tourist purposes etc, the border patrol has stamped a tourist stamp into my passport. Perhaps I forgot to show them my ...

Hi all I will be due to apply for ILR on the 10-year route in 2020. As I'm sure you are aware, an applicant can have no more than 540 days out of the UK over the past 10 years leading up to the application. I recently submitted a Subject Access Request to UKVI, asking for my entry and exit dates ...

Understood! Well, if anyone has advice on either of these, that would be great!

not sure what happened here. first post supposed to be a different topic. Anyway, grateful for any info you can provide on the visa application question!

All I have a general question on lawful residence/visa process. I can't seem to find the answer in the guidance and apologies if this is a bit of a stupid question. I'm due to be eligible (I think) for a 10-year ILR application in September 2020 and I have a question on a visa application I made in ...
