In addition to the citizenship application I made, I also applyed for the BRP/evisa because I updated my contact details for the home office, and got the generic email requesting I do this. We will see which application comes through first. And with regard to another threatd I put down my past two speeding tickets I received in the 80s. I checked the legacy ILR form when when I applied, and indeed then they just wanted to know about criminal offense or civll judgements and also took into consideration the rehaibilitation of offenders act. Have times have changed.
I was very lucky that my employers gave letters showing continuous employment since settlement, but also that I kept a box file of documents I forgot about until now. I was able to provide proof I had been here for every year,, plus of course the old passports. My proof was about 50-60 documents including old P60s, NHS stuff, my covid travel pass showing the 3 vaccinations, council tax, mortgage statements, etc. I gave a very good spread
I do have some concerns though about those with legacy documents trying to accomplish this feat, particularly if they have been here 20-30 years with a paper ILR vignette and are retired. It seems to me this may be a disaster waiting to happen.
