I need Sfe long residency help

I am currently studying an undergraduate nursing degree and applied for SFE in May 2024 based on long residency. I have live in the UK since 8 years old, i am now 32. I have built my entire life in the UK and not live anywhere since. I go on holiday for 5 days and I start to feel homesick, this is all I know. Sfe has continuously asked me to provide countless evidence since then without giving any updates on the documents I previously submitted. All I get is “We still need evidence of your immigration status. We previously asked you for some evidence to confirm your long residency in the UK, but we haven’t received it yet.”
I uploaded, medical records, bank statements that cover a 5 year period, council correspondence, home office letters, children’s birth certificate, tax credit, council tax, payslips, p60,p45, tenancy agreement and benefit letters etc. Yet they are requesting more and more. I have nothing else to submit as I was a minor for the period they haven’t accepted. I can’t get school letters because it has apparently been too long. They have now refused my application and I don’t know what how to start my appeal process.

Hi there, what was the last residency evidence that we had requested? When was this last requested? Thanks, Stephen.

Hi, you requested 2008-2011. I submitted a college report (2008), my child’s birth certificate (2010), Dr letter (2010), bank statement (2011). I also sent home office letters that were addressed to me in a UK address that covers most of this period but they were not accepted.

Hi Shan,

If you contact us we can check what dates are missing and what evidence you have sent that has been accepted. We can't do this on here as we don't have access to your account.

Thanks,
Claire
