BC after Ilr as refugee

Hello!

I have applied for my BC after getting my Ilr. However, in documents required section I have been asked to prove my 5 year of continuous residency in the Uk.

Bank statements or bills are not accepted. Apparently passport is an accepted document which i don't have because i had assylum ( HO took my passport at that time )which then lead to Ilr.

The only document I have is my Brp card(Ilr) and my expired travel document which has multiple stamps of exit and entry. I have not been outside the UK for more than 3 months but my travel document was only issued in May 2016 which isn't 5 year of continuous residency proof.

I studied during that period and got the degree so letter from employers is out of context too.

My question is, what shall I provide to prove my 5 year continuous residency in the Uk? Would a statement letter explaining them be ok alongside my travel document and Brp card?

Any advice would be highly appreciated!

Hello

After completing my application it did asked me to provide 5 year continuous residency proof in document checklist section.

Accepted documents are passport or employer letters.

Then provide whatever you have. Write a cover letter and explain that your passport is with the HO
