I have asked eeckard the same question. I m going to apply soon and need to get first hand information on what actually is acceptable to HO.
Thanks
I would take it as a compliment - the HO worker just by looking at your package had no doubt that everything is in proper order, and that's due to your preparations. So, enjoy the trust!marr1a wrote:He totally brushed over the rest including my explanatory information (I was disappointed!)

There is one big issue I have though, which I would be grateful for some input. During the four year period, I have substiantially been in the UK with the exception of the past 5.5 months which I spent travelling in the South Pacific. I was fortunate enough to have this treated as a sabbatical on partial pay and maintained continuous employment under my work permit. Regardless, I was out of the UK for this time. The letter from my work does not mention my absence and merely confirms my continuous employment, but the extended nature of my absence would seem to threaten the success of my application.
My question then is should I wait for, say, another three months before applying, or go for it now? What is the liklihood of my success given historic applications with extended absences. I cannot dispute the duration, but could claim (albeit without proof) that at least a portion of this time was work related.
Thanks in advance for any replies
