sama I think you are going to have to write either in the Further Information section of your application or maybe get a signed letter from your employer which states that you have been travelling on company business for the periods you have been overseas. Unless someone who visits this forum is an ...

you shouldn't declare bankruptcy as this will be a process which will be declared to the HO. Also hope your tax payments etc... were all up to date as this may also affect the decision.

Thank you for that 'pearl of wisdom'. That was just a reminder Rozen as not all people are as experienced as you and it's amazing what people forget or overlook is necessary when they are caught up with immigration forms and procedures. So sorry if I offended you but this group is for support and I...

I think this is what you need to read as you have ILR
