mama,He clarified that they do not count the day you leave and sat/sun/bank holidays. They count the days in between that are working days and the day you return to the UK as also being outside UK
That does not mean that they will not consider your continuity broken. The noncounting of weekends may be for shorter duration absences or to make allowances for weekend trips.usemobile wrote:Excellent Mama
Your experience confirms me that , Home Office Count only working days for absences in the UK .
I was outside the country from 105 days during year means if they count weekdays then it should come under 90 days only.
Good news to me.....
Any one know - when we can go to ILR means 5years from Date of stamping or Date of Entry to UK.
Because SET(0) saying Grant of Entry....
Waiting for some reply...

I did not know that they count only weekdays and not weekends.
I came to UK on 08 Jun 2003 on WP1.
However, I was in India from 06 July 200 2004 to 23 Oct 2004.
If I just count Weekdays between 06 July and 23 Oct, its definitely less than 3 months.
I know that you CAN NOT have more than 3 months gap in one go, what you think will they consider it less than 3 months gap if they only count weekdays?
Thanks in advance.
I have not applied yet but planning to apply in couple of months time.But netacc, did you apply for PR? my case is as follows and i am going to apply in Jan, 2009
Hmm, what is the purpose of the employer's letter then? I would have thought the number of days one was outside the country on work would be excluded from the total.mama wrote:I did get a separate letter from my employer saying that I have travelled on many business trips and that the details were enclosed.
But the caseworker told me that even with that letter, they need to add the business trips to days outside the country.

Hi Thanks to mama for the valuable information he shared with us.
But netacc, did you apply for PR? my case is as follows and i am going to apply in Jan, 2009
Date of entry : 23-Feb-2004
Gap: 02-July-2004 to 03-Oct-2004 - CONTINOUS 92 days
I have totally outside UK for 120 days including the above 92 days.
My employer has confirmed by issuing the letter that this is the business trip.
I am little worried about 92 days; will they remove the week ends as happened in mama?. Please comment your own experience.
Thanks for your inputs
Regards
