Hi,
I have two questions regarding time spent outside of the UK.
I have been absent from the UK for 185 days in the past 5 years, so just a few more days than the 180 maximum. This is taking into not including travel days (departure date and return date). Will this be a problem? Will they be flexible with just 5 days over?
Regarding the 5-year period, do you count any absence within the preceeding 5-years from your application for IDL? Or is it absences since you first arrived in the country on your visa? In my case I arrived in the UK in Sept 2005, however if I apply for IDL in Feb 2011 do I look at Feb 2006-Feb 2011 to count my days outside of UK, or do I count look from Sept 2005 - Feb 2011?
Thanks
