1. I wanted to find out if my absence in the last 3 years will affect my BC application
I was granted ILR on a 5 year route on Jan 2018 having been married to a British Citizen.

Was out of the country for 4 days in Dec 2016 with my wife on a Christmas trip (22nd -26th Dec)
Also was out of the country in from March 2nd to April 23rd 2018 due to sudden death of my little sister.

Other than that, my immigration history is clean. I was wondering if these absences will affect my application.

2. I also want to ask once i have done the online application, how many days do i have to visit the NCS for document verification? Can i book with any coucil other than where i live cos my council Hertmere Borough Council have stopped offering NCS service today.
3. I understand i need to include these documents, my passport, my ILR, Life in the UK, UK Masters degree Cerificate, application form. Please is there anyother document i need to add to support my aplication?
