ILR (14 years) - application returned for lack of evidence

I applied for ILR set(0) 14 years overstayer, two months ago and today I found out that the home office send back the application by post second class, so it took 10 days and they asked to send it back in 14 days!

For some years, at the beginning of my stay in the UK I never received bills or any documents to prove my stay. I used to share places and didn't receive any bills.

They are asking me to send them evidence documents of the gap years I left in the application.

Has anybody had this problem in his ILR application and will it be a serious problem when they will decide my case.

Thanks

Hi ,
I did not have the bills myself as well but I sent a letter from HMCR which confirmed that I was working therefore proved that I was in this country. Also if you had registered with the GP you could get a letter from them. If you went to college any paperwork at that particular period would help, eg certificates or enrolment letters.
I hope that this is of help. Am in the 9th week myself waiting.
Good luck.

Thanks Lcity,

I had about four years gaps ( separated) . I had a certificate from uni and later bills and bank statements at later stage of my 14 years overstay. For somebody who is not entitled to do anything as an illegal immigrant, how do they expect me to provide of all evidences of my overstay as if I have been a normal citizen. I forgot the times I moved in and out places -sometimes kicked out due to inability to pay the rent.

Just how my hurdles I have to jump ! Or may they think I will live 200 years.

The fact that they sent my app back second class stamp with all important docs means that the Home Office is looking for any possible trick to fail the case. It took ten days to reach my solicitor and they expect the application to be back in 14 days!
