Dear respected members,
I applied for ILR under 10 years long residency last week.
My total days out of country are 328 days.
In 2002 i went to Paris for three days and i had two month visa.
I went to Paris through road,at dover port immigration did not stamps on my passport,not exit neither entry.I don’t remember what were the exact dates of travel.
In application form i mentioned three days out of UK and i am not sure that dates are correct.
Do i really need to mention exact dates?
I am worried about it.
Waiting for your reply.
Thanks.

I had a similar experience. I wasn't checked at Dover or Calais. But I had the dates. I made a spreadsheet of all my absences with the page number in the Passport where the relevant stamp is located. I truthfully listed the period as an absence but I obviously had no stamps. so I just put "no records". My solicitor said it will be fine.

Anyway, your absence was much less than the 18 month limit. What's an extra couple of days going to make a difference?

Thanks joh118 for your reply.
As you put 'no records' but i mentioned the dates (3 days) which i am not sure those are correct.
Someone told me there may be an issue regarding false dates.

I am bit worry,please advice on that.

Thanks.

don't put the dates specifically. Just put it like this (I assume you know the month?):

??/03/2002 - ??/03/2002 | Paris | 3 days | Holiday | (I was not checked upon entry into UK, therefore I have no stamp)

Thanks for your quick reply.
I already sent my application last week.
Do i have to worry about it or can i post a letter to UKBA explaining this?

Please advice?

I wouldn't worry about it. You've already sent your application. Nothing much you can do now. Just wait!

Once again thanks.
Just to clarify and want to put my mind in rest.
By not mentioning correct dates which i do not know,did i commit any deception in my ILR application?
Can HO refuse my application on that basis?

I know i have posted my ILR application and i can not do any thing now.
I really can not afford the refusal.

Thanks
