Hello there guys. Need a bit of input and advice.
So I sent my application 5 months ago. A week ago was told my application is at an advanced stage of processing. I thought great, I am now only waiting a few weeks at most. Found the envelope at my door and alarm bells started ringing.
They have asked me that "you have history with the UK. Home office data suggest your leave to remain was refused in 2006 and you departed in 2010. If this applies to you please provide further information"... (or something along those lines)
Now its true that my application for further leave to remain was refused but I departed two days after receiving the news from the home office. I am surprised that they would have incorrect data on me. I checked all the stamps in my passport and couldn't think where they got that information from. I checked all my rubbish but couldn't find the boarding pass. Got on to the agent I bought the ticket from and they said they only have records dating back five years. Unfortunately, it wasn't an e-ticket or my email would have had it.
So, in response to the letter, I wrote them back about the fact that I left in 2006 rather than 2010. I also sent them original passport that was valid back then which has an arrival stamp in my country. UK didn't stamp it as I was leaving. Didn't think this will come back to haunt me. I also sent original employment letters from my country covering the period from 2006 to 2010. And a few DBS certs that I got from 2013 and 2014 indicating I had no criminal history in the uk.
I also asked for SAR from Uk and posted the form to them today.
I went through previous posts from other board members but didn't find out how their journeys through irish naturalization ended.
Anything that you guys advice further? I will appreciate it as going through this horrible ordeal is not easy.
