Hello guys
I will be completing my 5 years in UK (initially WP, later HSMP/Tier 1 visa) in Aug 2010. Just want to find out what is the permissible number of days you can be outside UK? I have been told it should not be more than 180 days for the 5 yr period...is that correct? Also how strictly is this rule applied? What proof is required? Do they go by the stamps in the passport or do we need to prove it by any other way? Also does this rule apply for just the main applicant or for my wife as well?
I have travelled for around 190 days for personal and business trips outside the UK (personal around 130 days and business around 60 days). Would this have an adverse impact on my application?
I have also seen on some discussions here on this board that business travel can be discounted if we get a letter from the employer. I am sure I will get a letter from my current employer (around 6 days business travel) not sure if the previous employers would help to give that letter...what are my options in that case?
Thanks much for your help...looking to understand what my options are and what i need to do in the next 2-3 months to prepare my application.
cheers
