Confusion over lost ILR

Hi there

I am hoping someone could give me some advice as I have seen some conflicting advice online.

My boyfriend was born in Poland, but came here at the age of 2 as a political refuge and was awarded ILR along with his mother. He has since lost his old passport which had his ILR in. (He holds a Polish passport currently and is now 35). He so stressed at the moment as he is being given conflicting advice from friends amongst all of the Brexit confusion.

His mother is saying he needs to produce documentation spanning back to his infant school proving he has been here continuously but this is proving a bit difficult. Is there any way to get a replacement ILR documentation?

Any help would be very much appreciated
Thanks C

He may apply for NTL. However, he may have to prove that they granted him ILR, etc.

Losing a document doesn't mean end of life. You can ask him to apply for NTL. In the application he can provide the details of his old passport, Photocopy of ILR page and Police reports and any other document which he can.

The best option is to apply in person it may cost him £800+ but that's the best way to apply in his circumstances. If he manage to see a good caseworker then it will all be sorted out in no time.
