    I will be most grateful if someone can help with my question.

    I would like to apply for ILR based on the 14 year concession rule. My problem is, I can only provide evidence for the last eight years. My passport with the relevant dates was stolen and i have a new passport with no history in it, what do I do?

    I have been adviced that my ties to the Uk ie husband, daughter (who are both british) mortgage and other commitments will be fine. Is this true or do I need other documents? If so, what document will I need?

    I understand I can not change my status in the UK on a visitors visa. I have also been told the only to get my settlement status is to go back home. I have been warned however that should my application be refused, it can take up to a year for an appeal to come through.

    I cannot leave my 2 year old daughter for a year.

    I figured since I have been in the country for so long, I will use the 14 year concession instead, however I can not prove part of the time I was here because my history is in my old passport.

    I am open to any adivce anyone has, if there is a way to get my ILR without leaving the country I will be very grateful to know it. Thank you.

    Your connections to UK are "overwhelming",you could always use article 8 .You would need solicitor to help you with application..It can be done while in the UK ;)
    "ARTICLE 8
