What is your question exactly? Entering clandestinely can be considered an immigration breach and may or may not count against an applicant. Given that you were granted refugee status, I think it's unlikely that it will be held against you.

You might be interested in reading the discussion that was had about it a couple of weeks ago. There are links in that thread that may be of interest to you—though if you have any further questions, you should post them here in this thread, rather than the linked one.

Thank you for the reply.
In my 5 years in the uk I never break any laws and I never received any penalties or points in my licence. Just worrying about the issue of the entry to the UK and apply for asylum in same day in my arrival then I got my 5 years status after 3 months. Which expired in last April I applied for ILR which been approved in 29 August 17.
I will appreciate any more information.
Thank you
