Hi all, Getting confused about this?

Should I simply declare 4 years and 11 months.

As In past five years I was absent for 120 days (less than 180)
I came over about 46 days after entry clearance(less than 90 days)
(1 month short because 28 days in advance ILR application)

OR should I say exactly 4 years and 5 months

As:
120 - Total Absent days
046 - Later arrival
028 - Applying in advance
------
194 days = (about 7 months)

Thanks for you help

@Ijaz.Ahmed,

Write from the date when you first arrive into the U.K.

Thanks "Spidery_thread" for attention

Key Dates are

Entry Clearance: 29th Jan 2008 (HSMP)
Arrival in UK : 16th Mar 2008
Tier1 G Granted : 26th Jan 2010
ILR appointment: 2nd Jan 2013
Tier1 G Expires : 29th Jan 2013


Hope it will clear the situation,

So am I good to simply put "4 years and 11 months" as total time spent in UK? (Ignoring all absences i,e 120 days)

(Thanks for your time)

Why yes? Why 4 years 11 months when he has spent less? Why not just instead round it off and say 5 years?
