Points to be noted:
Absences
I did NOT provide any letter from my employers, past or present. I found it unbearably ridiculous and simply could not be bothered.
I sent a low-quality photocopy of the internal holiday form for just 2014 and a few email printouts about business trips over the last 2 years or so.
I supplied absolutely no evidence of my business or private trips from my three previous employers.
I entered the UK on 28 SEP 2009 and was away from the next day (29 SEP 2009) till late November that year for absolutely no professional reason. I was simply drinking every day in Poland. Therefore, I had no evidence to speak of about this period of absence.
I received my EEA2 RC in July 2013 and was using that to leave and enter the UK ever since. So, I've had no UK entry stamps at all since then. I was registered on IRIS scheme on 29 SEP 2009 (lol) and I used it to enter the UK until it was decommissioned. So, I had very few UK entry stamps during that period.
Language
I submitted an expired IELTS certificate with it, which I did NOT use last time or at any time for anything. But, I wrote (using red ink) that the UK degree certificate (PhD) was submitted previously.
Basically, I submitted absolute minimum to make a logical sense.
