hi

I am applying for ILR (WP +Tier 1, same employer) in two weeks and need some advise on the list of absences.

I have been outside about 210 days (all business trips and vacation). employer letter mentions dates in/out and destination.

I need to provide a list as part of completing form as well. what should i submit for this? Is it just enough to list dates in, dates out and destination in spreadsheet? or shall i also count no of days for them and if i do then how to calculate it (e.g. weekends and travel days?).

Thanks

date in, date out and reason

I spent hours preparing an elaborate spreadsheet which included passport page of stamp and so on (235 days in total). They were not interested in this and only looked at the dates for long absences - they spent barely a minute doing this in total.

thanks for that but the point is there are so many different opinions on what to show on the spreadsheet out there i wanted to get opinion of someone who has recently applied.

my previous comments was on a subject which is covered so many times and it is same question (180 days etc etc).

A quick glance at the top of the "sticky" posts will guide you to a spreadsheet templete which is self explanatory. Download that and you are good to go. OPs application was successful based on that template and what I understand from other posts, lot of other guys too used the same template and was successful.

Good luck with your application.
