ABSENCES
I have three absences for a total period of 150 days in past 5 years.
I entered UK on 03.06.2011 and left after 10 days and stayed back home again for another 87 days before I moved to the UK again. This was because of my son's illness and I have attached his medical documents (Though i am not sure if it is really needed).
Two other absences were holidays and are covered by employers letter.
TAX
I paid full taxes on time since I am in self employment in the UK including those related to my first extension. My self employment work is 100% related to my UK Masters degree which I earned in 2005. (I was a student in the UK between 2003 & 2006 and left UK with 5 months leave remaining for the then SEGS).
I worked 15 to 18 hours daily to meet current earnings requirements in year 2 and 5. Income in years 1,3 and 4 is low. I started another business in year 3 which ended up with huge losses in year 4, so overall profits of self employment gone down significantly in those two years.
I have P60s and SA302s of past 5 years but I have been advised not to include them because they are not required. The current 12 month earning period falls between two financial years so P60 for last year is also not attached.
I have decided to apply by post. Please comment...
