Where an applicant cannot point to any record in the possession of the Immigration Department evidencing a claim for right of abode, the concession cannot apply; allegations that officers negligently failed to record a claim are insufficient. Therefore each application fails where no departmental record exists, regardless of credibility of oral assertions absent corroborative contemporaneous records.
