Help Required -ilr - Out Of Country For 185 Days

[northumboy]

Hello,

I have an appointment at Glasgow PEO next week, can some one please clarify me on the following.

(i) During the last 5 yrs i was away from UK for around 185 days and out of that 115 days on business trip at a stretch (3.5 Months)

My employer has given a letter confirming the same.

Will it be sufficient or do i need to provide any further info?

(ii) Does the case worker do any verification such as calling empoloyer to confirm the details, has any one have any idea?

Many Thanks for your help.

Would be worthwhile carrying your payslips and bank statements for the period you were travelling...

Thanks for the reply.

As i was off on Business during my first year in the UK which is in 2004, i doubt i will be able to provide salary slips or bank statement of 2004.

I changed my employer as well so it would be difficult to get something.

Can you please suggest?

Will the case worker call the employer to find details , in which case i will have to give the appropriate reference details.

If you're applying for ILR, there is no stipulation as to the maximum number of days outside the UK, and the caseworker is unlikely to require any detailed travel history, particularly if you were still being paid in the UK during your absence.

Absences from the UK will become relevant if/when you apply for UK citizenship.

Thanks for the reply.

Can you please also clarify whether i should include or exclude date of arrival and date of departure while calculating total number of days out side the country.



Thanks

Why do you say that the form asks you to list your absences so they are relevant,.
