Hi,

Sorry for posting such basic questions - I have searched through the forum and haven't found any answers, hopefully some of you can give me some guidance.

I'm a EU national, came to the UK in 2007 when I was 14 years old. I went to school, college, then got a university degree. I now work full time.

Unfortunately, me being young and stupid I haven't kept any letters/paperwork, such as payslips, job contracts, letters from my doctor, etc.

What documentation can I send to support my application? How can I prove my time spent at university; is my degree certificate enough to prove I have been a student during that time?
Also, I had a little part time job in college, I don't have any payslips or P60 from it (again, stupidity). Is providing my bank statements enough?

Additionally, I spent a year at an address I have no proof of; this was whilst I was at university, therefore all my post still went to my parents' house.

Can anyone give me any kind of advice. Can my application still be accepted if do not provide evidence of everything?

Do you have a DCPR (document certifying permanent residence)??

To amplify CR001's question, how are you going to show that you are free of restrictions on the length of your residence in the UK? To do it on the basis of permanent residence, you must first obtain a DCPR. The rest of my post addresses obtaining one.

That is not enough to obtain permanent residence on the basis of time spent as a student. You would also have to showed that you had 'Comprehensive Sickness Insurance'.

Unless the job was providing a significant part of your living costs, the job is unlikely to qualify you as a worker.

It is quite likely that you obtained permanent residence as the family member of one of your parents. If neither has obtained DCPR, it is still likely that at any one time before you were 21 one or other was a 'qualified person', e.g. as a worker. 5 consecutive years of having a 'qualified person' as a parent before the age of 21 will suffice for you to have obtained permanent residence.
