Did not work for 5 years

Hey guys,

I'll have to apply for ILR 10 years and have only been out of UK for 4 times for a total of about 75 days...but I have not been able to work for the last 5 years due to my wife being a doctor and we have very young children 3 and we r on tier 2 from her job. I couldn't work because she has to work for long hrs and sometimes for nights too. One of us has to stay at home with kids otherwise childcare costs get very high so completely defeats the purpose.

Anyway, how do I prove that I have only been out of UK for 20 days in last 5 years?

Thanks

There is no requirment for you to be employed for 10 years ILR.

You will have stamps on passport to show when you left the UK and enter back in the UK.

Passports are not stamped when u leave UK it's only at the entry they stamp that's why they ask for letters from employers to verify the applicant stayed in country??

Evereyone knows that passport are not stamped when you leave the UK but it is stamped 100% when you arrive in a different country. You cannot leave UK to not go anywhere.
