Seems like land mine questions, answers gathered here can be used against me in case of adverse decision.
- Time in the UK
- How long have you lived in the UK? (Required)
- Year(s)
- Month(s)
- I have four absences from UK each lasting nearly 4 weeks. And I am applying 28 days before. Should I deduct the 5 months in total and mention 9 years and 7 months?
- How long have you lived in the UK? (Required)
- Your social, cultural and family ties
- Do you have any family in your country of birth, nationality or any other country where you have lived for more than 5 years?
- Provide details,
List their names, where they live, how you are related to them, and what type of contact you have with them- Yes
- No
- Provide details,
- I have my dad and a brother back in my country of birth. Just mention their names and location? I am presuming we don't have to mention extended family information here?
- Do you have any family in your country of birth, nationality or any other country where you have lived for more than 5 years?
- Your social, cultural and family ties
- Do you have any friends in your country of birth, nationality or any other country where you have lived for more than 5 years?
- Provide details,

- No
- Provide details,
- This is the ridiculous question of them all. I can't possibly be expected to list ever single one of them.
I can mention five close friends in UK and not mention anyone from back in my country of birth to avoid a question about ties? Is that an acceptable way to approach this question?
- Do you have any friends in your country of birth, nationality or any other country where you have lived for more than 5 years?
- Your social, cultural and family ties
- Are you part of any social groups or do you have other cultural ties in your country of birth, nationality or any other country where you have lived for more than 5 years?
This could include social networks or connections to any of these countries.
- Provide details,
List the social networks or connections, where they are located and your involvement with them- Yes
- No
- Provide details,
- This seems like a trap. Social group? I am debating with myself to mention my UK university alumni, cycling groups, local charities and blood donation squad. All in UK in those exact words. Any other suggestions please?
- Are you part of any social groups or do you have other cultural ties in your country of birth, nationality or any other country where you have lived for more than 5 years?
