I wonder if anyone can help.
An ILR application under 14 year long residence rule was submitted in May 2012. Never had proper documentation, not known to the UKBA. Did not know that would spend 14 years so did not bother to collect documentation from January 1998. Got couple of pictures dated 1998 and had few friend who provided letters confirming that they have known me since 1998. UKBA asked for aditional evidence to support. Could not provide and gave an explanation that between 1998 and 2012 moved numerous times and probably lost of pics and docs. Also in 1998 since had no proper doc did not have bank account received pay in cash. Now received a refusal saying that i could not provide 'EVIDENCE FROM OFFICIAL SOURCES' to cover the period between 1998-2002. Did anyone had similar cases to mine that were resolved? Please help.
