Hello All, hope you are well.

Can I please get confirmation that we have everything covered? As we are looking to make payment and upload documents tonight.

I also noticed we declared our latest holiday, but upon checking my wife’s passport, she received no entry or departure stamps. We flew from UK to Fuerteventura and back. I assume this won’t be an issue.

Many Thanks

no issues were raised on your checklist, so proceed according to it. no issue fir the last holiday not being stamped.

Hello everyone, hope you're all doing well.

We're uploading our documents ready for our biometrics appointment on 5th July, and I just wanted to check something.

My wife has passport stamps showing departures up to November 2025 and returns to the UK up to May 2025, although the May 2025 entry stamp is quite faded and difficult to read.

She doesn't have any UK entry stamps after May 2025 because she was granted ILR between the May and November 2025 travel dates, so her later re entry wasn't stamped.

Do we need to provide any additional evidence to cover the period from May 2025 to June 2026? Or, because the May 2025 stamp is faded, should we provide evidence going back further? Or am I just overthinking it?

Thanks in advance!

Passports are scanned by Border Force and data tranmitted to UKVI, so they can validate the absences.
No issue - passport stamps are defunct now anyway. No need for further explanation/documents.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.
