Am I still eligible ? Please Help

[zcakd59]

here is the situation
came to uk as a student in 2001,
graduated from university last year, but visa was expiring in aug, when graduation was in sept, therefore i left uk before visa expired and returned as a tourist (as i have no valid visa) in sept, stayed for 5 days, and returned to hk. In sept, i obtained another student visa (post graduate degree) and entered the country in Oct.

Does the fact that i came in as a visitor void my status as 'continuously living in UK for 10 years'

thank you so much

You should be okay.

I came in the country in 2001, but I have just realised my very first passport, which has my 2001 entry stamp inside, is gone missing, been searching everywhere, but still can not find it, will i be able to apply ILR using other form of proof e.g. school letter proving i was in UK at that time or be able to obtain the record from the home office ?
thank you very much
regards
