BIA'S Interpretation - Day Count

[jes2jes]

This is an interesting question that came to mind. In terms of BIA's count of absences abroad, do they count the absences as days or months?

Reason I am asking, if a person was absent in the whole of February in a particular year, do the count it as 28/29 days or a whole month?

It will be interesting to know. Thanks and please let me know if you know anything about that.

I was away from the UK from January 01 to March 15 let say in 2000, would it be 2 months and 16 days or (31+29+16=76 days)? Intersting!!

Days;

Immigration guidance is issued based on days and they count days to confirm if requirements have been met. Half days are not counted, for example if you arrived on a day it is not counted (read the guidance to help you establish how they count). It helps during ILR and nationality applications if you can provide a list of absences with the correct days counted.

Thanks. I checked the guidance for ILR on LRC but it does not say so. It just says list the absences and reasons. I was thinking it should be days since there are 365 days in a year.
You can provide me with a link if you can locate one. Thanks
