How many people reading this can provide documentary evidence that they were residents of a particular country for the past eleven years running? I've been asked to do that, and and I'm finding an awful lot of holes in my paper trail. (Gaps in employment can be a stone bastard.)

what about monthly bills (like electric or phone bills)? or rent receipts? I had to do something similar for the university when I first applied. Which I thought was absolutely ridiculous since they'd been sending me junk mail for the past several years as an "alumni"! BUT you can't beat red tape.
