Not sure if this is widely known but it is possible to make a Subject Access Request to the Home Office and see what information they hold on their files for people subject to immigration control. It is a free service. I made a request for my wife's records. It took about a month and I received (by email attachment) 50 pages of info they hold on her - visa applications, proof of status, travel history etc. Quite enlightening actually.
